Hi Sage,

Just a bit of victory after 6 months.

I'm not yet there by far, but I've just passed the mark of only one test
not working (the osd-markdown.sh one) and all other tests that I think
that are passable have now passed.

And that all against a tree that is rather recent.

osd-markdown is a test that is rather hard to follow, analyse, debug...
Which starts with the fact that I cannot find any docs on the parameters
that are being manipulated.
Asked the author, but got no response.
So I'm very tempted to execlude that test for the time being.

And I'm hoping that you can merge the compiletime #9178 wip soon, and I
can begin with the next set of commit to merge the testing work.

Thanx,
--WjW
