Dear all,

There seems to be more interest in running the export tests. This is great and
will encourage me to improve the (shamefully lacking) documentation for these
tests.

First, I am focusing on the test results after reverting (locally) two commits,
as follows:

  git revert --no-edit 664ef2c4 1523fc60

If you do not revert these two commits, many tests will fail and it will be
hard to figure out when there are regressions.

To run all the tests successfully, you need to have a lot of dependencies (even
if you have a full TeX Live installation). Thus, you might just want to limit
your running of the tests to our manuals, and exclude the templates and
examples. To do that, you can do something like: ctest -R "doc/"

If you are interested in whether a certain patch breaks anything, feel free to
let me or Kornel know and we will do our best to run the tests before and after
your change and see if any test suggests a regression.

The following tests are currently expected to fail because of issues with
nested language handling and polyglossia. Georg, if you still have interest and
time for fixing this type of issue, take a look at these:

export/doc/nb/Intro_pdf5_systemF
export/doc/sk/Intro_pdf5_systemF
export/doc/es/Customization_pdf5_systemF
export/doc/de/Customization_pdf5_systemF
export/doc/fr/Customization_pdf5_systemF

I'm not sure but these might also suffer from a similar problem:
export/examples/seminar_pdf5_systemF
export/examples/fr/seminar_pdf5_systemF

These tests fails because of language switching done with polyglossia, but I'm 
not sure what the root problem is:
export/doc/fr/UserGuide_pdf5_systemF
export/examples/fr/Foils_pdf5_systemF
# kluwer gives the following error with polyglossia:
# LaTeX Error: Command \ifdef already defined.
export/templates/kluwer_pdf5_systemF

Please let me (or Kornel) know if you have any questions.

Scott
