That makes sense, once we get this all nailed down, I'll do that.  I
think that this is not a replacement for the 'tests/' section tho.  For
example, it would be a place to develop tests on the core of Pd that
would move far faster than the pure-data.git, and it would be a place
for tests that involved multiple libraries.
