[ovs-dev] [PATCH 3/3] Update windows test documentation

How about the following:

Before running the unit tests make sure to add the pthread libraries to your
PATH environment variable.

One of the unit tests starts Open vSwitch as a system wide service. This
test expects the pthread libraries path to be in the Windows' SYSTEM PATH
environment variable. If while running unit tests, you do not have the
permissions to start a system wide service or if you already have a Open vSwitch
service running, you can disable the unit test
with: make check TESTSUITEFLAGS="-k \!windows-service –j8”

Alin.

How about the following wording instead?
(One of the unit tests starts Open vSwitch as a system wide service. This
  test expects the pthread libraries path to be in the Windows' SYSTEM PATH
  environment variable. If while running unit tests, you do not have the
  permissions to start a system wide service or if you already have a Open vSwitch
  service running, you can disable the unit test
  with: make check TESTSUITEFLAGS="-k \!windows-service –j8”)

If you think above is correct, I will update your patch before committing.
