Re: vndcompress unexpected pass!

Just tried a:
# cd /usr/src/usr.bin/vndcompress
# make check
...
cmp oneblock.cl2 oneblock.cl2x
unexpected pass!
*** Error code 1
What is that trying to test?
# diff /usr/bin/vndcompress obj.amd64/vndcompress
#
Oops. I added that test, while rewriting vndcompress a couple years
ago, to confirm that my new vndcompress omitted the spurious
end-of-file zero padding that the old vndcompress added. But it no
longer makes sense when, as you noted, the base system's vndcompress
*is* the new vndcompress.
So probably all the XFAILs in that makefile should go away, as,
perhaps, should the .cl2x and .outx suffixes. If I were doing it
today I might do it a little differently, making compatibility with
the old spurious padding a run-time option so that these automatic
tests could easily exercise it, but nobody cares at this point!
