 The tests use the googletests framework for C++. It is available
 from http://code.google.com/p/googletest/.  To enable the tests,

-contains the gtest include and lib directories, for example:
+configure BIND 10 with: 
 
-  ./configure --with-gtest=/usr/pkg/
+  ./configure --with-gtest
 
 Then run "make check" to run these tests.

 TEST COVERAGE
 
 The code coverage report for the C++ tests uses LCOV. It is available
 from http://ltp.sourceforge.net/. To generate your own HTML report,
