That was my original thought. It would allow us to get the presently
smallest testcase to check for something, and if we can further reduce it,
we could check in the new testcase as well. It would also allow potentail
bug fixers simpler access to the testcases.
On the other hand, the list of people with CVS write privileges would have
to be expanded.
