Groovy (the tests, at least, also work on my 299.26
install).  I think this signals the end of the line for 20x
versions of SchemeUnit.

BTW, have you been adding tests for the various problems
that have come up (including the perplexing
make-test-suite* one mentioned on plt-internal)?  It would
be good to do (dogfooding).  We can work on parameterising
the text-ui to support a silent mode (and generally be more
configurable; the code is quite poor; added to the TODO
list).

SchemeUnit advocates may want to check out
http://srfi.schemers.org/srfi-64/  I intend to comment on
it but right now don't have the time.

I've been thinking about a Make for Scheme (which would
have to be called Sake).  In fact the LShift guys started
on this but never finished it.  They tried to use Schelog
and ran into problems; now I'd try Oleg and Dan's logic
programming system (can't remember the name right now).

Cheers,
Noel
