Considering the 1.34 regression tests, which only cover officially
supported platforms, between gcc and msvc there are 16 variants. You may
decide to cover only a subset, but you must test all the others to
ensure you didn't break anything. I wish I could afford to run so many
regression tests each night.
I still think that a revived bug traking tool, where people who care
post warning clearing patches, is more viable.
