I can release this test suite, but it has some problems:
- most comments and messages are in Portuguese (but you usually do not
need them; the only essencial message is an "OK" after each test).
- they are not quite portable. They run in Windows and Unix, but some Unix
implementations fail some tests because of bugs in their own C libraries.
(E.g. IRIX's strtod accepts "1e" [or something similar] as a valid numeral...)
- some tests are quite memory demanding. You may need to adjust them to
fit in your machine (if you have an old/small machine).
