Going to be CVS updated soon (read as perhaps today). Most of the patches
are going away, concerning gcc31-2.96-RH-tests.patch (which contains just
many testcases for things which were broken in 2.96-RH but already fixed in
3.0), if there is interest in more testcases, I'll certainly post it for
review.
