Yes, my try is attached. I changed `tests/README', and updated
`ChangeLog' accordingly.  The patch is generated with the program
`git-format-patch', and since it's the first time I use it, I'm not
sure I did everything correctly.
Also, be warned that I'm not a native speaker, so my wording might
be far from perfect (or downright botched).

Well, some errors are coming up in fact. I will send a new mail after 
the testsuite's run completes and after an examination of logs.
