Is it okay to beef up the test harness code a little on the 2.2 maintenance
branch?  I'm installing 2.2.2 on a Solaris 8 machine at the moment and
notice two small warts:

    * -u all isn't accepted

    * there are no sunos5 expected skips

Any problem adding them for 2.2.3 if they aren't already in CVS (they may
already be there)?  More generally, is improving the test harness okay (not
strictly a bug fix) since it doesn't directly affect the performance of the
interpreter?

Thx,

Skip
