While it's not fatal to have these issues exist on the trunk during
development, having them in a tarball is really bad. That's why I
won't even dream of insisting that ARE results are monitored daily.
But I do think we should re-check this before a tarball is released.

If Pierre can do that, fine. If not, if someone can tell me where do
I download the ARI script, I will give it a try.

Thanks.
