Hmm, compiles fine for me on the clean CVS get (ignoring "test31/32.cpp"
errors, see the attached log). Are you sure you are in sync with the main
trunk?

There are, they just not included into the batch. Probably they should be;
there are some issues, mainly with the number of tests (currently ~60 and
more to come) - simply putting those into results table would render it
rather useless, IMO, and the corresponding increase in compile times might
also be a problem (for the tests runners). In any case, I almost never
checking in anything before the regressions passed.
