Comment:

 I was saying that if XSLTPROC is installed then regress should test the
 comments otherwise it shouldn't.  We've got a lot of conditional tests
 testing for those various versions of geos. Is it hard to make one that
 runs only if XSLTPROC is installed?

 To be truthful, I don't care about this test, as long as you try to
 install postgis , postgis_topology using the extension module before you
 release an alpha tar ball.  In fact I see no reason why the tar balls
 can't include already generated extension files since those files are the
 same regardless of if you are on Unix, Linux, MacOSX or Windows. I just
 don't want to come to the point of building a windows binary to distribute
 and "Yikes, gosh, darn it - the extensions won't install.  I'll have to
 hack them or forgo distributing the binaries".

 We've got lots of windows testers out there who rely on pre-made binaries
 and can help us squeeze out what bugs we have remaining. I want to USE
 THEM. :)
