Useful for discovering bugs that depend on a specific thread count.
Use like THREADS=randomX for a random thread count from 1 to X, with
X=16 when not specified. Note that the thread count is different for
every test.
The awnser which most people will seek is put first

Set make variable KEEP to non-zero value to preserve temp files
when a test has passed.
Helpful in diagnosing failed tests when test outfile is some type of
single hash and does not reveal differences in processed output.
This can be useful to filter out noise in known-broken scenarios like
miscompilation by legacy compilers and similar.
Originally based on a patch by Diego Biurrun.

If makeopts_fate is set, these makeopts are used for running the
tests instead of the normal makeopts. If it isn't set, the normal
makeopts variable is used as before.
This is useful if remote testing on a lesser machine where a large
number of parallel jobs might be undesireable, while wanting to speed
up the build with many parallel processes.

If the "build_only" variable is set in the configuration file, the
FATE client will skip running tests and just compile all targets.

Be compatible with texi2html 5.0 which doesn't search relative
file names in search paths anymore.

It might be easier to understand for some people and is a bit more
in line with e.g. OpenSSH documentation. The meaning of the text stays
exactly the same.
TARGET_EXEC allows running FATE on simulators, remote targets and
memory checkers. Also document a known issue with Wine and mixed
Unix/Windows line ending.
FATE_SAMPLES is now used directly by the Makefiles, which induces the test
system to run a test with the value of the environment variable as name.
Renaming the environment variable to LIBAV_SAMPLES avoids this problem.
The fate.txt file is ported to texinfo format. Therefore the
fate.txt is renamed to fate.texi. The contents of the already
existing fate.texi file are discarded.
However there should be no loss of information. If you find
anything missing, please report.
