This is only done as an intermediate step - until I have found out how
to do this :-) I just thought (and think) that testing could be done in
parallel. I do intend to honor the comments in the Makefiles, but my
first attempt to do that (first patch I sent during 0.10.1) was plain
wrong and I've only just started to work on that patch again.

We are stuck with technology when what we really want is just stuff that
works. Some say that should read Microsoft instead of technology.
