Note(s) from the Maintainer:
==============================
We saw huge no. of new tests been added this month. And i hope the trend
will continue. Apart from that i will soon introduce some fixes as a
fallout of my Paper work at OLS 2009.

Our web site also contains other information such as:
- A Linux test tools matrix
- Technical papers
- How To's on Linux testing
- Code coverage analysis tool.
