Changes from 1.4.4

1. The automake/autoconf-based build system has been cleaned up
   significantly.  It now has less moving parts for maintainers.

   these communication modes can still use the DejaGnu 1.4 branch or
   can contact dejagnu@gnu.org to discuss reinstating these files.

Changes from 1.4.2

1. New XML output option, so test results can be loaded into a database.
