Well, QATty is almost at the end (it builds x11/ now) of its first run
(LOCALBASE/PREFIX) conformance :-)
The run was announced on committers ML and on ports ML.

PortsmMon aggregates the date from PointyHat and a few others sources,
it's usually easier to use that PointyHat directly.

And we're gonna have more! :-)

QAT basically does on-commit testing (I regard -DNOPORT* as something
accessory at the moment since the biggest part of the problems were
fixed).

QATty does non-standard config testing; PREFIX and LOCALBASE for now,
other things in the future.

The plan is to unite reports for on-commit testing, for standard
config and multiple non-standard configs and have one QATMail for all
the tests. This depends on available hardware and my available time.

Blame it on me rather hating wikies. Each QATMail contains a link to a
doc describing the testing process.

I'll do it eventually. And yes, you are right, we need to document a
lot of things.
