Ok, I'll have a patch ready by then. I'm not sure which number family I should take for the tests, 8xxx and 9xxx don't have any rules for their use, but the [89]0xx area seems taken. Would naming them 91xx be good? Also, the tests can be extremely slow since they rely on svn, so there will be a way to skip the tests if users are not interested. -- Eric Wong
