Would it be possible to load a more recent version of simple.el in
Emacs22 to define special mode, and then see if ert loads successfully?

Also, did all tests pass successfully in Emacs23?

Currently on my system using Emacs24 all tests pass but those related to
fortran code block support, all of which are failing.

Once we have all tests running for Emacs>=22 it would be very nice (and
not too difficult) to add a post-update hook to the Org-mode git
repository which could run the test suite and record the results for
every version of Emacs with something like the following

emacs23 -Q --batch -l $ORGTESTSTUFF --eval "
(progn (org-test-run-all-tests)
       (htmlize-buffer)
       (write-file "commit-id-23.html"))"
