    Maybe the correct fix is to provide a working test suite?  I feel
unconmfortable without a successful test result, if I have to say so.  I
have very bad experiences which I forced the installation with test
failures and resulted in unrecoverable disaster.

    Anyway, I'm not pushing anyone on this issue.  I know everybody is
working hard. ^^;
