I just started to looking into setting up a CMakeList.txt file for building
the test binaries used by the native API tests. While trying to figure out
how to change the build process to work with an out-of-source build
process, it occurred to me it might be better to have the normal build
always build the test binaries and place them in a seperate directory. That
way, breakages in the header files can be caught quickly and we have the
capability for different builds of these files.

Right now, there is a build option on the testOORexx command, but it builds
the binaries the "old style" into the same source tree and has different
make files for Windows and non-Windows. It also needs to know the location
of the api header files to build successfully. Converting this to an
out-of-source build might be tricky, but if the files are built when the
interpreter is built, then both the build location and header file location
become non-issues. It is then only necessary to make sure the appropriate
paths are updated so the files can be located.

Any strong feelings on this, pro or con?

Rick
