I suggest that we change the requirements 2 and 3 to "unit tests passing 
on all supported platforms," which is stricter.

Large file tests are a good idea. I wonder if we could automate it? With 
sparse files, large file tests do not need a lot of disk space.

Wiki is OK but it may get spammed, and is difficult to search and get an 
overview/summary of outstanding bugs. Someone recommended Trac and Martin 
seemed to like it. I've used Request Tracker but wouldn't recommend it 
because it's a pig to install. I've also used Mantis and liked it, very 
easy to install (just PHP and MySQL). Sourceforge and Gforge also offer 
bug trackers.

Cheers, Chris.
