We accept any 0.4.x Ming version.
Some tests are just skipped if not supported by the version
you have. 
0.3 is not supported for a single reason: lack of 'ming-config',
if it wasn't for this we'd support 0.3 too.

What you have is a CVS snapshot, we can't support CVS snapshots too..

Sorry about that, I'm just pissed off that while hacking and continuosly
checking by running 'make check' I find myself unable to verify my 
own hacks by running 'make check' again since somebody else broke it.

I only rant if you commit changes that break the existing testsuite.
Being able to run the testsuite should be top priority for any
committer.

I can understand temporary problems with it, but I can't stand
breaking things twice in a few hours. It makes the work of other
developers harder.
