Woops! I'll be more careful with my diffs in the future. :)

That sounds like a great way to handle it.

There are a couple of reasons. While I was testing, I skipped the
existing tests to speed the process up. Also, I wanted the windows tests
to appear in the host config/build/install/test status summary on the
build farm web page for bnhtest, and it currently doesn't if the
existing tests are also enabled.
Those are kind of wimpy reasons though. I definitely agree that it would
be best to typically run both, but the real reason was that I wasn't
prepared to tackle build.pl to fix the status summary yet :) Now that
the SOC's over and the test is integrated, I want to look it over and
discuss the next steps.

Definately. I'll put a patch together to add the README file and take
care of the win_test.conf environment variable soon.

You're very welcome. I'm really enjoying it! And thanks also for the
opportunity, and help/guidance from yourself and Vance along the way.
I'm definitely looking forward to working together to extend the
samba/windows testing, and any other aspects of Samba I end up getting
my fingers into in the future :) It's been pretty varied so far!
Thanks again,
Brad
