Hi Guys,

On Friday I came across a Perl program that converts TAP to JUnit XML.
It needs a Perl module XML::Generator which does not come with Perl, but
should be available for most Linux distro's or from CPAN. I have the
necessary build system changes to add that script and support a new
'make junitfiles' target (better names welcomed); as long as a user
doesn't build that target they shouldn't need the XML Perl module.

Any interest in adding this to Base, and if so to which branch? It
should allow the other CI systems which don't handle TAP to display test
results, and I might switch the APS Jenkins to use this since its TAP
module is flaky.

> tux% cat epicsEnvTest.tap
> 1..3
> ok  1 - epicsEnvSet correctly modifies environment
> ok  2 - Child thread sees parent environment values
> # Child and parent threads share a common environment
> ok  3 - PARENT environment variable not modified

becomes

Test failures include the full "not ok" text, but #diagnostics are not
included in the XML output at all.
