[M3devel] Fwd: Output from "cron" command

[Tony Hosking]

No, broken briefly then fixed quickly is OK -- that's what regressions  
are for.  But on the other hand, testing before checkin is probably  
nicer to the rest of the world.  That way you don't get whinging e- 
mails from me complaining that the Tinderbox regressions broke.  I  
suppose it depends which pain you prefer: my e-mails or testing  
comprehensively.  ;-)

I would hope that these sorts of system-dependent changes are  
minimized by keeping as much code in *portable* Modula-3 as possible.   
To my mind, nothing outside of m3core should need to escape to C.
