RFC because I'm not sure it's necessary for each PR. It will add a few min to the test time. Partially addresses #4905 by running them from Travis rather than the local 'make check'
The semantics of "echo" are different there and they change the resulting text,
but they're still correct and predictable.
This will allow for windows tests to run with bitcoind.exe and bitcoin-cli.exe
Windows interprets 'foo.txt' as a literal filename while "foo.txt" is treated
as expected.
They're unused since the switch to Travis
ACK from me.
RE: adding a few minutes to the test time: I think we should start with more testing at every PR; we can optimize or do a run-expensive-tests-against-git-HEAD-once-a-day if it becomes too much.
ACK from me too, it's better to catch problems before merge
Ok. I picked the current ones (wallet/listtransactions/forknotify) because they were the ones listed for the old pull-tester. Are there any others that should be hooked up initially?
No, this is fine. Others can be added later.
