test suite failures with cvs Maxima



I have commited the changes to rtest_hypgeo.mac and rtesthyp.mac. All reported
testsuite failures vanish and the tests pass for GCL 2.6.8 and Windows XP.

Since a longer time I have two failures in rtest16.mac. I have never reported
these problems. Because nobody else reported a problem it seems to be specific
for my system. The failures don't occur with Maxima 5.15.0 and GCL 2.6.8.

Failed tests in rtest16.mac (GCL 2.6.8 and Windows XP):

********************** Problem 103 ***************
Input:
tex(t[1],false)

Result:
\$t_\{1\}\$\$\

This differed from the expected result:
\$t_\{1\}\$\$\
\

********************** Problem 104 ***************
Input:
(foo:x[1]^2,tex(foo,false))

Result:
\$x_\{1\}\^2\$\$\

This differed from the expected result:
\$x_\{1\}\^2\$\$\
\

119/121 tests passed.
The following 2 problems failed: (103 104)

It's OK in this case to insert another test, but in general I think it
makes unnecessary difficulties to number the tests in the comments.
Typically tests are added or taken away more or less at random.
I don't see a good reason to make that unworkable.

OK by me.
