Thanks for your efforts! What is the "common" runtime they are using 
now? Is it single or multithreaded or is it the one specified for the 
test case?

There is one point which gets more and more important for me: What about 
potential differences between release/debug or single/multithreaded 
configurations? Shouldn't we run tests for all of them?
