I must admit I'm still using JUnit 3.7 on at least some of my
machines.  I wouldn't be surprised if some other developers
are, too, since this was the current version at the time when
the first serious tests were committed.

I'd certainly be happy to sync up to 3.8.1 (appears to be the
current version).  I don't think many (any?) ``normal users''
run the test suite, so this is really just a developer thing.
Anyone actually attached to 3.7?

    Thomas.
