     DESCRIPTION
          Its is a loadable module for sh(1) that provides a simple
          error reporting facility for tests which can be run by
          itest(1).  It provides one command, report, which is used by
          a test to report a message with specified severity and ver-
          bosity.  Severity must be one of INF, WRN, ERR or FTL for
          Information, warnings, errors and fatal errors respectively.
          Verbosity is an integer between 0 and 9.  For informatory
          messages (severity INF), the message will only be displayed
          if the current verbosity level is greater than or equal to
          verbosity.

     EXAMPLE

          echo 1 > /tmp/a
          echo 2 >/tmp/b
          report INF 5 testing cmp command
          if {cmp /tmp/a /tmp/b} {
               report ERR 0 'cmp failed - reported different files as the same'
