Mostly yes, but the setting of FMT_CASE isn't because of the test
vectors - it is because the format in fact supports case-sensitive
passwords with some of its supported hashes.  Even if we omitted that
one test vector, we would still need to set FMT_CASE.  As such, the
comment is slightly misleading.  So I think you need 3 separate
comments (with only two of them being about the test vectors), not two.
Also, s/one test vectors/one test vector/

Thanks,
