Dan has submitted a patch that sets the changeset number and revision 
number of the providers as attributes in the VSMS class.

Could you add a function that gets these values, and then sets them as 
globals for the suite?  This will allow the individual test cases to use 
the changeset/revision number as a way to check for different behavior 
depending on when a particular patch went in.

Also, there was some discussion on the mailing list about modifying the 
negative test cases so that they only check the provider return codes. 
I think it'll be awhile before we can add implementation specific return 
codes to the providers.  Since the CIM return codes aren't specific 
enough to indicate exactly what kind of error occurred, I'm inclined to 
continue checking the return messages in the test cases for now.

Thoughts?

I had this on my to-do list today, but I didn't have a chance to look at it.
