	glv = gulm lock verify

	This is a tool to verify that the lock state machine in gulm is working.
	This tool has its own server client system. The clients of glv are also
	gulm services. (they link against libgulm) The server is started with a
	test file, and a list of nodes. It sends out a command to start the client
	on these nodes, where gulm is already up and running. It then walks
	through the test file, making sure that it sees the results it expects.

	Tests don't specifiy which nodes to run on, instead they specifiy how many
	they need. Nodes are all referenced by an index number. Then for the
	actual run, the real node names on on the cmdline.

	Running a test is mostly just picking the test to run. Making sure you have
	the require number of nodes. Starting lock_gulmd on all of them. Copying
	glvc to each. Then running glvd with the name of the testfile and the node
	names.

	If a test fails, the reason is sent to stderr, and glvd returns with 1.
	Otherwise a success message gets printed to stdout, and glvd returns 0.

	glv can only work with what is returned. To really know things are
	working, you should know what residue a test leaves behind, and investigate
	the lock dump from the server to make sure it is correct. With that in
	mind, it is worth the effort to make all tests unlock everything before
	finishing. That way, if nothing else is running, the lockspace will be
	empty.

	Also, all tests assume a clean lock space. So if a test is failing,
	restart the lock servers first.
