Questions about testsuite/document changes.

Hi,
Have following few questions regarding testing and documentation of
gfortran,
1) Most of the tests in gfortran.dg have subroutine call "call abort()"
whenever we want to terminate program after some condition.
As part of std f95 compliance testing I started compiling and running
these test with -std=f95 option and I noticed that, all the tests having
"call abort()" call gave "undefined reference to `abort_'" error.
Should we change these or create a new set of these tests (as f95 tests)
but instead of abort() may be use STOP()?
Also, these tests (most of them) are still valid for f95.
2) Should there be an effort to write tests just for the individual
intrinsic function? Some kind of tests for the intrinsic functions with
invalid input, expected error/warning output, etc., negative tests?
3) How does the documentation (user manual) get generated. I know it's
from corresponding .texi files. But I didn't find the required fortran
contents available at http://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc-4.0.2/gfortran/
in any of the .texi files in the mainline cvs tree.
I did find all the older g77 intrinsic function documentation in 3.4.1
release.
So, is there plan for creating similar documents for gcc_4.x release?
Any suggestion is appreciated.
Thanks,
