Resurfacing after organising conferences, and discovered I had missed this e-mail. I'm not aware of any such efforts, and it would be really good to do. Making it easy to do "runtests" would vastly improve the ease of testing during the release process. Right now the output of the tests is fairly inconsistent, and this is probably to a large extent my fault. It would be nice to have a "test template" program that people can start with when writing new regression tests -- I know I would find that valuable. Robert
