+Subject: [PATCH 1/2] tests: Add optional use of timeout utility, if present. Each top level\r
+ test (basic, corpus, etc...) is run with a fixed timeout of 10m.\r
+\r
+ The goal here is to treat a hung test as a failure. The emacs test\r
+ for sending mail is known to be problematic on the debian\r
+ autobuilders. This is both a bandaid fix for that, and a sensible\r
+ long term feature.\r
