it would be interesting to know under which system you tried to run all the tests (Linux, Windows, which version/kernel?) and which 
Python version you are using.
The tests (like SWIG/Qt and so on) are usually designed to get skipped automatically when a prerequisite isn't installed. As you can 
see in our Buildbot waterfall display ( http://buildbot.scons.org/waterfall ) all tests should actually pass (or get skipped, hence 
delivering a "NO RESULT").

However, you may also continue with development straight away. Running "runtest.py -a" *before* developing things further, serves 
the purpose of taking a snapshot regarding the test outputs. If you then apply your patch and suddenly some other tests fail, you 
know you've done something wrong immediately.

Best regards,

Dirk
