Yes, that's bad. > - The disabled testcase thingy should be factored out of the layout > engine test suite class. Probably the whole file list generation.

In most cases you'll find out right away if you've misspelled the filename, when you run the test suite. > - Should the disabled-testcases file get a licence header?

Had a busy day with a half-day FOP workshop and a business lunch telling a bunch of people all the exciting news about FOP. I'll be away tomorrow, so if there are anymore issues, please just fix them and Christian can do the release as soon as it's ready and he has time. Thanks guys! Jeremias Maerki
