I'd like to write tests that, given different command line parameters,<BR>
will either output totally portable results, or only somewhat portable, where "somewhat"<BR>
probably means either portable to particular wordsize or portable to wordsize+endian.<BR>
Worst case, completely platform specific.<BR>
<BR>
We'd have 1, 3, or 5 checked in expected results.<BR>
Or possibly 1+n (portable + n platforms).<BR>
This case is less useful, because it takes away the ability to compare, e.g. LINUXLIBC6 to NT386.<BR>
<BR>
The test would run twice, with and without the command line option.<BR>
<BR>
I guess it is about as much work to implement as to describe, but I've let it drag out.<BR>
<BR>
I have tests that would benefit from this.<BR>
