Oooh. I think you might have a running system now! Those int2, int4,
float8 "failures" are probably just error message differences and are
expected. The date and time stuff may or may not be a problem, and the
geometry stuff is probably OK (rounding trouble in the math libraries).

Make sure your date/time stuff looks OK, at least for simple tests; it
may be, for example, that your timezone database is just different for
dates before 1960...
