|       * testfun/test.m: Disable "testif" test block to avoid spurious
|       skipped test for "make check". Avoid printing variables for
|       skipped tests.

|       * DLD-FUNCTIONS/luinc.cc: Make tests conditional on HAVE_UMFPACK.
|       * DLD-FUNCTIONS/spqr.cc: Make tests conditional on HAVE_CXSPARSE/
| 
| 2007-12-03  David Bateman  <address@hidden>
| 
|       * fntests.m: Also count the skipped tests
|       * buil_sparse_tests.sh: As appropriate make tests conditional on
|       HAVE_UMFPACK, HAVE_CHOLMOD and HAVE_CXSPARSE.

I checked it in.
