    Hang tight for another couple of weeks. I'm cleaning up the open
posix testsuite from within the LTP (sf.net/projects/ltp) repository
(I have to merge over some of their changes), and once that's done
I'll see about backporting bits (if the maintainers are still
around..) and/or publishing a revised copy that _is_ more POSIX
compliant as the testsuite as-is has a number of bash'isms,
gmake'isms, and Linux'isms.
    Some work needs to be done to bring the tests up to spec and sort
out all of the XOPEN/XSI extensions.
Thanks,
-Garrett
