thank you.

Where do I find the testsuite? Googling for gnustep testsuite I found this:
http://www.gnustep.org/resources/documentation/testdoc_4.html

Which seems to be outdated, maybe that should get removed/updated to not 
confuse people. 
Anyway, I found the testsuite in the gnustep svn repository, and will try 
that.

thanks, I'll try that also.
