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.
