Ok, I've posted the diffs to Ivan. I separated them into two pieces.
One all before testsuite patch (was last recent one) and the other
changes. Due the fact that a lot of files in boehm-gc have changed
places, I think it is better that Ivan does the diff here manually, as
it is sometime hard to find where file has gone, or if it is still
present.
