I'm sorry, maybe I didn't express myself clearly enough: I do not 
want to close them, just because they are old, but to actually 
handle them somehow. As far as I know, several of them could 
either be merged (maybe with some minor changes) or it is quite 
clear, that they will never be merged (for example because the 
issue has been addressed in a different way meanwhile).

That's what I did - see [1]. H. S. Teoh suggested above to put 
them into std/internals to preserve them and have a possibility 
to let others run the tests too. I'll have to see. Havn't peeked 
into std/internals yet...
