Dart2 is pretty far along, and should be coming soon.   Although, this could be
seen as a "feature".  As the mounting emails will cause people that care to either
fix the problem, or make someone else fix it.  However,
ctest does truncate the errors at 50, because with c++ one error can cause so many
other errors, that looking for a bump in the error count does not really make sense.
