[pypy-dev] hildesheim2 day 2 + 3 report / status

[Ben.Young at risk.sungard.com]

Hi Holger,

It sounds like you are making great progress! I was just wondering when 
would be a good time to report test failures, as I am currently getting 
about 25 failing tests at the moment (on Windows cygwin)? I understand 
that things are in a state of flux at the moment and will probably settle 
down again after the sprint.

Keep up the good work!

Cheers,
Ben
