Right now no one is assigned to fix the last two test cases.  Maybe once 
they are fixed we should switch to always mailing failures.

Steve suggested that we might also provide a web interface.  I think 
that would fulfill the need to find out the current state of things.

Currently the branches fail a *lot* of the tests, mainly just because 
the test scripts need to be updated.  Once they are sorted out, we can 
auto-test them too.
