[Lsb-infrastructure] IBM contributed t2c-core

[Eugene Shatokhin]

Stew,

I have looked at the tests.

1. Concerning the quality ("depth") of the tests, it seems to be 
somewhere between shallow and normal, closer to shallow most of the 
time. There are situations, however, where the quality can be improved 
and it would not take long (see the details in the notes attached). It 
could be worth trying to make these improvements.

2. I think the tests still need some work before moving out to devel 
branch: there are build problems, etc.

The details are in the notes attached.

Regards,

Eugene.
