I understand that you are strongly attached to C and heavily
biased against scripting languages ==> :) <==, but what I
have in mind is a simple .BAT file.  That even I could
generate by a Perl script (sorry again!) from the build
tree.  Just zip it up with the individual .EXE's and let go.
Extract into a directory, run TESTS.BAT, email RESULTS.TXT,
delete directory.  Is it still too much?

Right. :) See the :). :)  But the question is serious.

In the spirit of the above, I proposed omitting (gasp!) the
green ones...  Is that an oversimplification?  I have to
admit http://www.astro.gla.ac.uk/users/paulm/WRT/wrt.php
looks very nice.  It is a pity it went dead two days before
I added a new test.
