How is /tests/ntoskrnl not near? You have to remember that not everyone 
wants to download the tests simply for building the core kernel, or even 
wait for them to be compiled. Part of the new directory structure that 
we are working on is exactly to ease down the bandwidth for developers 
or users who only want the kernel. They shouldn't be bothered with an 
obligatory test sub-directory (ie, this is also the reason Steven 
removed apps/tests). The advantage of the SVN tree will be that the 
/tests directory will have its own repository but still be included of a 
master repository/makefile for those who wish to have it all.
