* README: Update. * Makefile: New file. Run all tests automatically. Primitive tests are run first; more complex tests are run last. * count1.c: New test. Validate the thread count. * exit2.c: Perform a simpler test. * exit3.c: New test. Replaces exit2.c, since exit2.c needs to perform simpler checking first. * create1.c: Update to use the new testsuite exiting convention. * equal1.c: Likewise. * mutex1.c: Likewise. * mutex2.c: Likewise. * once1.c: Likewise. * self2.c: Likewise. * self3.c: Likewise. * tsd1.c: Likewise.

+Tests written in this test suite should behave in the following manner:

+ * If a test succeeds, leave main() with a result of 0.

+ * No diagnostic output should appear when the test is succeeding.
