The latest comparisons between results for various languages and our C
results are not as clean as they have been in the recent past.  Here is the
summary (as given by both ctest in the build tree and "make
test_noninteractive" in the installed examples tree).

The principal issues are recent important changes to our API and C examples
3, 16, and 19 have not been propagated much (if at all) to our other
languages yet.  Please do what you can for languages of interest to you to
help clean this up for our forthcoming release.  Hazen has started on the
example 16 issues, but help from others will be required for some languages
(probably at least Ada and OCaml) for example 16, and there is a lot of work
to be done on examples 3 and 19 for all languages and also many of the
examples for D.
