Sandy,
Good points. However, some may prefer just to add a test or two rather than
add SA. Plus specialized tests may run more quickly via specific parsing
than a general regexp engine. Or some may just prefer not to implement
cygwin on their machines (I seem to remember it being necessaary to
implement SA).
In any case, I think this is a situation where there are many ways to
implement, and for each different environment different solutions may be
preferred.
Darin.

Just a little note here: while this test is surely valuable and its
development much appreciated, I think creating a slew of external
Declude "helpers" is suboptimal--for desktop heap overhead, if nothing
else--when many of the tests could be wrapped by SpamAssassin custom
rules and run all at once using SPAMC32. Remember that SpamAssassin
has full Perl regular expression support and allows for auxiliary
rules to be contributed via any number of external files (each rule
with its own weight, at that).
If the community concentrated on contributing SA rulesets, test
development time could be sliced down to nearly zero. Now, I know that
for some of you, this might seem vaguely treasonous--if you think of
Declude and SA as rivals. We don't run SA without Declude, though, so
I see it as more of a parent-child relationship.
Anyway, it's just an idea.
