Exactly. In the beginning of this thread someone said that "abcl
developers maintain
a fork". That is not exactly correct, Erik merely put it on cl.net as
a project, hoping
that it would become the common place to develop the tests. I don't even have
commit access to the ansi-test project, because I don't need it.

Anyone who wants can get commit access to it, through the usual cl.net process
for doing so. The modifications we made are tiny, and with the
exception of making
the tests run on abcl, are not at all abcl-specific, or even abcl-related.
