They are not being run by any cron job, yet. The general idea is to have a "knowngood" dvi or pdf file, and compare it against the result of running with the current code. I wrote the DVI-comparing (which uses dvitype) script in Perl so it would have a chance of running under Windows. I don't know if it really does. Ditto the PDF-comparing script (which uses pdftoppm from the xpdf distribution). The numbers in the directory names are just an arbitrary prioritizing scheme, so simpler tests can be run before more complex ones. Several tests can have the same priority number. I don't intend to try to make this any kind of exhaustive testing, we're just trying to make sure the most obvious things aren't broken. (Of course, the more the merrier.) The only additional tests I plan to add myself are: 8-bit input (all common languages) pdfconcat
