[plt-dev] (fail) Re: Pre-Release Checklist for v4.2.4

John, if you have basic stepper tests that can run automatically, drdr
and/or the nightly build can run them for you. drdr works with gui
test suites, and I've been able to automate some testing of drscheme
(altho I see now that there are problems...) which might be useful to
you for getting started:

The above transcript even looks like it found a bug!
