I try to keep [1] accurate and up-to-date, but the 'specification' is 
really "what setup accepts" :(

Currently, the ordering requirements are:

1) The version to be installed when test versions are selected (the 
highest test, unless one is explicitly specified in override.hint) is 
the last [test] section

2) [curr] is first

But since both these things are to work around historical setup 
limitations, I don't think they merit mention in [1], and might not be 
the case in a future when we no longer care about setup versions old 
enough to need them.

Thanks for pointing this out.  This is due to a 'bug', which caused 
incorrect ordering of test versions lower than curr.

That should be fixed now, but please let me know if you notice any other 
problems.
