Peter,

The first question you should ask youself is: is this thing actually
used somewhere....

git grep testhxx
soltools/prj/build.lst:so  soltools\testhxx
nmake   -   all so_testhxx so_mkdep NULL
soltools/prj/d.lst:..\%__SRC%\bin\testhxx* %_DEST%\bin\testhxx*
soltools/testhxx/create.pl:    $in =~ s!\S+/testhxx.cxx!-x c++ /proc/self/fd/0!
soltools/testhxx/create.pl:    $in =~ s!\S+/testhxx.cxx!\${my_tmp}!
soltools/testhxx/create.pl:    $in =~ s!\S+/testhxx.cxx!\${my_tmp}!
soltools/testhxx/create.pl:    print STDOUT 'echo \'no testhxx on this
platform\'', "\n";
soltools/testhxx/makefile.mk:TARGET := testhxx
soltools/testhxx/makefile.mk:CAPTURE_OUTPUT = >
$(MISC)$/testhxx.output && $(TOUCH) $(SLO)$/testhxx.obj
soltools/testhxx/makefile.mk:SLOFILES = $(SLO)$/testhxx.obj
soltools/testhxx/makefile.mk:$(BIN)$/$(TARGET) .ERRREMOVE :
$(MISC)$/testhxx.output create.pl
soltools/testhxx/makefile.mk:    $(PERL) -w create.pl <
$(MISC)$/testhxx.output > $@
soltools/testhxx/makefile.mk:$(MISC)$/testhxx.output: $(SLO)$/testhxx.obj

Apparently the answer is.. no.

Not that soltools contain mostly stuff in support for the old build
system. it is possible that some of theses tools may still be
used/needed by gbuild... but it is quite possible that most will not.

That may not be the best module to convert. if any of it remain
necessary after the full gbuild conversion, it will be the last module
to ever join tail_build since any dmake module left would  depends on
it.
