As a side effect, this patch no longer checks that the order is
correct. Is this intentional?  gdb_expect_list might prove a better
choice since it still enforces the order.


It wasn't deliberate, but I think I like it anyway.  :)

If the output from 'info set' appears in a different order, but the
stuff we're looking for is all there, I don't think that's grounds for
a failure.

The output from ``info set'' should be sorted(1). If it isn't sorted i.e. is in a different order, we have a bug and, hence, the test should fail.

(1) I'll ignore the effects that the locale could potentially have on the sorting order. Lets for the moment assume a C locale.
