    Update the TODO file
    
    Add test suite changes from my recent message, update milestones, add
    Lintian manual changes, and remove stuff that's now done or that no

-reorganize regression suite:
-  valid

-  <in between, odd, etc>

-  whenever a check is touched or added, add a valid and invalid example
-
 rewrite into a more sane layout.  What I would really like is a set of modules
 that the controller script can open and use.  Probably some OO design.
 I am leaning towards python, but will give OO perl a look first.
