Several little test programs to test API features

They need device running device server. These device server are in the
dserver directory (Linux executable)

1 -	DsNoDb : Non database device server (Must run on a suse64 computer)
	Start it as
		DsNoDb a -nodb -dlist a/b/c -OAport 22222

2 - 	devTest : Classical test device server for suse72
	Start it as
		devTest api
	This server creates three devices which are dev/test/10, dev/test/10
	and dev/test/12

Start these two servers before running the test programs
Don't forget the LD_LIBRARY_PATH setting

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

misc_devproxy : Test DeviceProxy miscellaneous methods

			- command_list_query
			- get_attribute_list
			- attribute_query
			- attribute_list_query
