Leaved them in place and ran the tests? :). On a more serious note, I _was_
somewhat worried that the existing tests don't capture the complete
functionality of the library, so I tested on both the test suite currently
in the CVS and a new one, which I haven't checked in because of it somewhat
ad-hoc nature (not that the current tests are much better ;).
