So, as a strawman proposal, perhaps we should have a baseboard that
checks the env. variables:

        DEJAGNU_SIM
        DEJAGNU_SIM_LDFLAGS
        DEJAGNU_SIM_CFLAGS

I wonder if we should also allow something like:

        DEJAGNU_SIM_BOARD_INFO

and allow settings like:

        "noargs 1/gcc,stack_size 5000"

which would generate:

        set_board_info noargs 1
        set_board_info gcc,stack_size  5000

I don't know of '/' is the best separator to use.
