[GSoC-18] Regression Test-Suite for Audit Framework [Weeks: 9-12]

[George Neville-Neil]

Hello Aniket,

Thanks for the excellent work for the GSoC this year, I, personally, am 
impressed with how much you were able to achieve and I look forward to 
you continuing to work on FreeBSD, whether on audit, or on any other 
part of the system.

Best,
George
