Executive summary: Steve enhanced the test suite,
and Joe hasn't gotten around to updating tcldom/src
to match it yet.  If tcldom/src compiles, links, and
installs without any hard errors, then you can
(probably) safely ignore test suite failures.

As Steve has mentioned, tcldom/src holds a separate
code base, which is _supposed_ to be compatible with
the main TclDOM distribution, but might not be due
to different maintenance schedules.  In this case,
tcldom/src has not had any significant changes since
the 2.0 release, so whatever worked before should
continue to work now.  (I don't yet know what's new
in TclDOM 2.2, so new code written to take advantage
of the 2.2 API might not work with the package provided
by tcldom/src).
