## Cut the weights in half and then use the scaler to fix.

x@weights$weight <- x@weights$weight / 2

## I've removed tests involving calling the balance method and then
## checking exposures.  The Debian machine at CRAN encounters a
## failure, likely due to a differing .Machine$double.eps used in
## all.equal.  I couldn't reproduce using -ffloat-store in CFLAGS, but
## these tests aren't important for testing portfolioBasic or
## exposures, so I'm taking them out.

## I should add tests that check cases where a single side has 0
## exposure and where both sides have 0 exposure to a factor level.
