As for the time, it is at the very least faster :) My  measurements
varied greatly. They could have been effected by background processes,
hardware etc.

There are some tests which take a long time to run (such as command
line argument limit), removing these from 3rd party scripts should
improve the speed.

thanks for testing

I just committed a fix for a problem that was added in your patch.

The '#' in the '#include <stdio.h>' for the __func__ check I added was 
removed.  It fell through to using __FUNCTION__ instead.  I just put it 
back.

Thanks,
Kris Katterjohn
