OK, thanks for looking into it.

Nothing to be sorry about.  It is something new. It is really rare that 
someone sends me a patch with new files -- it was logical in this case 
because they correspond to the new tests that have been added over the last 6 
months.  I'm as guilty as you.

Yes, that is a good idea.

OK, I have added them all and committed them to the SVN.  If you do an "svn 
update", you should get them now.

Again, nothing to be sorry about.  No harm was done, and you did take the time 
to check and found the problem, and we also understand what happened.  That 
is all that counts.

Thanks,
