Some people managed to get Scmbug running in Windows under Cygwin. Hence
they can use the docbook-utils, xsltproc packages from Cygwin, and other
packages needed, to run a VDD. But in any case, lets start with what you
have, and see where it goes.

Just sent me what you have and I'll manage to get it merged. Just let me
know which Scmbug version you developed it against.

Sure, lets start without it, and we'll make progress. I'll email you a
private release as a Windows .zip file.

And please keep monitoring:

...to see what was merged-in so far.

You will need to download the Scmbug source code (not the Windows .zip
release). You could either: 
- uncompress and run the testsuite under a UNIX system
- or under Cygwin in Windows.

To run the testsuite see:

http://www.mkgnu.net/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/scmbug/cvsroot/system/doc/DEVELOPING?rev=1.2&view=auto

You'll have to add a new directory in
src/tests/product.test/config/testers/ with the "appropriate files" --
see the existing directory there.

That's all-right. I mostly want to go to bed with the cozy feeling that
if a bug is reported against Test Director, you'll be in touch to give
me at least a preliminary opinion on what the problem might be, even if
it takes a lot longer to fix.

I have to ask again, though: is it possible that I could get a Test
Director instance going in my lab ? I could be running the testsuite
myself, and have the option of examining problems.
