I've overhauled the optimisation tests. This improves the
optimisation tests and makes them a little more lenient to allow for
machine precision and round-off error artifacts on different
architectures, operating systems, etc. This has been applied to the
1.2 line and also ported to the 1.3 line. Many of the changes
suggested in this thread have been incorporated. The full details of
the changes can be seen in the commit message located at
https://mail.gna.org/public/relax-commits/2006-10/msg00106.html
(Message-id: <E1Gd1Cx-0007rj-4Z@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>).
If the test suite still fails on certain architectures, please report
the results and the tests will then be loosened.
