I did. I must confess I'm embarrassed now because when I added the
entries there, exactly in order to reuse what was in place, I found
it a bit tricky to launch the tests, but after that I felt OK with
it. Now it's been a quite some time now and I don't remember the exact
way to trigger the tests there, so it's likely that I didn't leave
enough info in the commit messages :-( Let me have a look and figure
again how to start the tests.

Sorry about that,
Willy
