Um, sure. :) The two problems that prevent me from building the tests
at all are
   - support files not in a support subfolder
   - conflicting filenames across folders

dbaron is maintaining the tests as an auto-import from Mozilla's tree,
so the changes would have to be made there.

The other problems in the tests are that the filenames don't match the
CSS filename format (test-topic-###.xht) and many of them have overly
simplistic (and thus repetitive) titles. But these don't break the build
process. I have a partial patch for fixing the filenames of the
bug-numbered tests in my tree. The 234686 tests are already imported
into the tree as
   http://test.csswg.org/suites/css2.1/20100615/xhtml1/replaced-min-max-001.xht
We can create a single reference file for that, and Mozilla's copy
will no longer be necessary.
