uhuh, kudos Charles. That's a great thing ;-)

let's talk about that a bit later on (maybe not the next week end),
since I'll have some machine to add to the pool... just got to check
which, and to get a ping from you if you see too much lag from me.

maybe a good thing, while waiting, would be to open a task, and list
the interesting systems to have in order to get the best test
coverage.
Can you please also take care of that Charles?

thanks for your good work,
Arnaud
