10.8.1 testing

[Rick Hillegas]

So far, the regression tests have not uncovered any showstoppers for the 
release: http://wiki.apache.org/db-derby/TenEightOnePlatformTesting

It would be interesting to know the status of the other release tests 
listed here: http://wiki.apache.org/db-derby/TenEightOneChecklist

Thanks,
