The tests for ARB_clear_buffer_object are done, as well.

Please also note that implementing Piglit tests for KHR_debug, 
EXT_frag_depth, NV_texture_array or NV_explicit_attrib_location would 
require an update to piglit's dispatch code about which there's 
currently some discussion on the piglit mailing list going on.
So going with EXT_shadow_samplers or EXT_shader_texture_lod would be 
kind of a safe bet right now, if you'd like to go with a project from 
that page.
