Now I get it. That form of testing is invaluable, but by itself, leaves a lot to be desired. And no, you didn't miss my link. I was waiting to see if anyone would respond favorably, so as not to waste time on something for which there is no interest. My next question would be: What is the best way to share this kind of contribution? There is a bit of a bootstrapping problem in getting it to a state where people see that it should certainly go in the development sources. But if it's not there, it's not likely to grow and become that useful. If emacs used a distributed version control system, this would not be a problem. (for which the only GPL solution right now is arch, btw). Oh well. I guess for now I will publish a tarball, and we can coordinate via email for adding tests.
