Presumably this is fine for all the targets dejagnu supports, but its
probably better to stick to one approach or the other.

This patch makes use of 'file join' for building paths.

Thanks; that is one of the eventual minor cleanups that I have been doing as I can fit them in. While I doubt that DejaGnu will ever be ported to a system that does not use the POSIX file name convention, it is possible that Expect may eventually be so ported and, in any case, [file join] is more clear than concatenating strings. I suspect that [file join] did not exist in Tcl when DejaGnu was first written.
