Comment(by robe):

 revised at r11738 for 2.1.

 Okay in looking at this.  I just noticed this particular test:


 {{{
  Test: test_lwgeom_force_clockwise ... FAILED
     1. cu_libgeom.c:750  - CU_ASSERT_STRING_EQUAL(in_ewkt,out_ewkt)
 }}}


 uses compare of wkbs which could be endian specific instead of the ewkt
 compare.  I've run into situations like this and switched these tests to
 do a same check (which is more or less equivalent to ST_OrderingEquals).

 The output fprintf is something we generally only do when we are debugging
 a test and not in the final iteration of a test. Though makes sense for us
 to include as part of test as a cross-check.  That is neither here nor
 there.  As a quick fix, I'm just getting rid of the fprintf and making it
 a standard same ASSERT check.

 Paul can change back if he feels the need to be more verbose.
