Of those, only the SP will change when installing newer SPs. The build
number will stay the same. NT 4.0 was build 1381 from the original CDs
to SP6a.

(And why haven't you installed SP3 yet? You've read the EULA for it? :))

Of course, this would be the easiest way to categorize versions. But how
much "original" is the version? What has been installed since then? I
know you can't really trust the DLL versions either...

Can we assume that individual tests will cleanup after themselves?

I don't know if at each release is frequent enough. What about
bi-weekly? Or after a set number of CVS commits by Alexandre?
I agree for sf.net for downloading though. We'll need to exactly label
what they are and how to use them productively.
