Bugger, that is a silly mistake, teaches me to not do anything without a
testsuite (again)!

Yes, I think we should see if this can be put up somewhere in the '.perl.org'
domain.

I'd like to try, but currently your FAQ section is not there, do you want me
to start something from the Test::Smoke documentation?

Good to hear, and it is good a thing your patch finaly made it so we can smoke
with MinGW-2.0 "out of the box" (I shall continue to do so). I am interested
to see the results for BCC (Yves is now smoking MSVC7 I think, so Win32
should be pretty well covered)
good luck,
Abe
