With some translation of the comments and an auto-testing 
framework, the test suite can be opened up for volunteers so that 
more manpower can be brought to bear, perhaps with CVS hosted on 
LuaForge. Some of us can split the work. Ideally of course, I 
would love to have a test suite in the Lua tarball, but I'm okay 
with any decision.

I would be very interested in helping to create a serious test 
suite for Lua.
