Hi
I've just modified run-tests.php to handle an --XFAIL-- section. The intent of --XFAIL-- is so that people can use it when they have tests that they know will fail.
For example, an --XFAIL-- section might look like this:
--XFAIL--
This test will fail until bug #123456 is fixed
Or like this:
--XFAIL--
This test will fail until function whatever() has been written
In general the idea is to be able to mark a set of tests that you don't want to worry about right now (for whatever reason) so that it makes it slightly easier to pick out unexpected failures.
I'll add some notes to the QA pages - if anyone sees any problem with it please let me know. I made the changes in PHP5.3 and PHP6.
