As discussed today, April 17, on IRC, I am proposing the creation of a
directory for tests based on short code samples from active RT tickets.
Note that these tend to be a bit different from other spec tests in that
they must often contend with the possibility that the code may throw a
Null PMC type exception rather than returning the expected result. The
tests may be useful in creating spec tests later as well as verifying
when changes may close an active ticket. Based on the IRC discussion
there will be one test file in the new ticket directory per ticket.

The attached .tgz file has half a dozen sample test files based on
currently active tickets. It also has a patch modifying Makefile.in to
allow for "make tickettest" and "make tickettest_loud".

I understand that tomorrow's hackathon may focus on active tickets and
wonder if this work might assist that effort...

It's my patch and I'm closing it as rejected based on IRC conversations
over the past week or so and the inclusion of tests in existing spec
test files.
