Whoops, that paragraph was not complete :)
If we had a framework which would simply run regression tests
and report failures, we could have this up and running in a
few days. I can supply the necessary scripts for automated
builds. For example, these scripts catched one bug: Future
Apache 1.3 releases won't contain an alloc.h header file. But
the static dependencies in our Apache Makefile.tmpl contained
a reference to that file, breaking builds immediately on the
test server.
