I'm hesitant to submit results to the testresults list for software no
one has never heard of. In any case, I'd like the test suite to be
useful to others. That will make it easier for anyone hacking on gcc
or any other compiler to see what's going on. The only real problem
right now is the spurious implicit typename warnings, which seems to
be covered by PR 5507.

I've set up a new version (1.1-patch-10) such that all 5000+ tests have
unique names. A lot of these tests look at similar code
(e.g. replacing + with -), so the actual number of tests of the
compiler is much less. If there is more that should be done, let me
know.
