SVN unit tests won't compile on Windows #18
Description
Two of the test method names cause issues on Windows. The tests contain a closure and when the class file is generated for that closure the name groovyc wants to use results in an illegal file name on Windows and the compilation fails.

I've tracked it down to the fact that using two colons in the method name triggers the failure. This is probably a groovy bug more than anything, but a lot easier/quicker for you to remove the double colons and gain immediate Windows support instead of relying on a groovy fix. Not totally required or anything, but allows windows only users to clone and use the project.
