Stan et al,
first I'd like to take the opportunity to thank you all for the great 
job that you are doing, I'm learning a lot from lurking on this and 
other lists way above my level.

I was (pleasantly) surprised to learn that you run open source project 
as test cases. One such project, octave - www.octave.org, has proven to 
be particularly nasty to port, exposing lots of bugs particulartly wrt 
c++ and templates. It is a very important piece of software to large 
parts of the scientific community.

Is octave in your test set, and if not, is there any way (short of 
bribing;-) to pursuade you to add it?
