Well, you're right about that.  Guess I'd feel guilty if I wrote any
ooDialog code today.  <grin>  I'll get started on some.

Please do so folks.

Don't worry about duplicating something I am doing.  The test suite
currently only takes a few minutes to run to completion with something
like 16,000 tests.  If 10 people out there each wrote 100 test cases
that were similar to something I did, we'd just add them in and
probably add less than 60 seconds to the total run time.

Plus, similar is not the same.  Most likely each test case would
generate a slightly different code path.  And that is what we need to
catch things, a slightly different code path.
