Thanks.  All test failures look more or less like this:

That indicates that your emacs installation is not working right.
Either emacs doesn't cope well with files with spaces in the name
(I have no idea whether that would be the case), or some configuration
file for emacs specifies a nonexisting file to load.  Anyway, you
should fix this in your local installation.

Here's how you should be able to see the failure yourself: run this in
an empty directory:
  echo "(setq load-path (cons nil load-path))" > script
  emacs -batch -q -l script -f batch-byte-compile

Hope that helps.

Cheers,
Ralf
