[Chicken-users] benchmarks and test suites

[Brandon J. Van Every]

At first glance, my CMake MinGW build of Chicken seems to be working.  
That is, under both a MSYS shell and a normal Windows Command Prompt, if 
I type "chicken -version" I get the banner.  However, I would like to 
prove that these builds are working more rigorously.  Looking in the 
sources, I see there's a benchmark suite, but not anything that looks 
like a testing suite.

My question: is the benchmark suite thorough enough to function as a 
testing suite?  Is it "ready for prime time" enough to install with 
Chicken, and give users an easy way to run it?  Will it give a good 
impression of Chicken if this is done?  i.e. bug-free, "fast" compared 
to something (basis of comparison left as a further exercise).  Is the 
benchmark suite sufficient coverage, or does it leave a lot of holes as 
far as ensuring Chicken works?

Felix, BTW I still need a darcs password...
