Basically if the Test completes to the point of generating code,
it has passed 95% of the test.

The output is compared to output generated on Windows.
On Linux things like the ClientSize would be different.

I may also add Linux generated code to the test although I'm
tempted to drop the source comparision test as things like
different window managers can lead to different code.
(I bet it also fails on WinXP in teletubby mode)

Maybe adding special markers (e.g. %) to the comparison string
to indicate parts which should not be compared...

Actually I checked in the core docs (apphelp and tutorial) into CVS
this morning so you should have them from the checkout.

The other docs (Python, wxPython, CVS and Zope) total more than 30 megs
by now, there is now way they will ever go into CVS.

To install them *only* requires extracting the zip (from the SourceForge
downloads page) into the Boa directory, so it cannot be simplified further.

Cool, hope it serves you well.

Cheers,
