Great.  I'll put these into the tree.

Some history on these: The sample_hsm stuff is probably the granddaddy of all
the dmapi tests.  I inherited these and nobody I know has ever used them, let
alone worried about whether or not they worked (even on Irix).  They were
deemed as having no value and it was suggested that I throw them out (then why
did they exist long enough for me to inherit them?).  Anyway, I decided to
keep them, thinking that maybe one day they'd be dusted off and given a
tune-up.

Note that the test tool 'print_event' exists in two places in the test tree.
The version in sample_hsm is _not_ the one I use, and I really haven't looked
at why they are different, or whether sample_hsm/print_event would even work.

At this moment, you are the expert on the sample_hsm stuff (congrats), so tell
me what you think: should we just remove sample_hsm/print_event and rely on
the other print_event?

Thanks,

Dean
