for what its worth
the ast distribution separates building, installation, and testing
we run the tests ("package test" or "nmake test" to test subtrees)
before packaging official releases
but because the tests themselves can have bugs or "acceptible" errors
we don't make it a default part of building or installation but
do make it simple ("package test" or "nmake test") for users to invoke> Yeah, I like the automated regression tests, too.
