So. it might be best if those are integrated into the existing "make
regression" test suite of ~800 tests of the system....

So. we're already doing some of that. And there's more in the way of web
testing on the way too.

All right. it would really be best if you can manage one aedist per
change. (possibly by developing each change as a branch and sending me a
rollup for that branch when you're done developing it)

Well, my tests found it too ;) Just for every incremental pre release,
we don't do the full test matrix (test on every combo of mysql,
postgres, modperl and fastcgi)
