I wrote some crude scaffolding from scratch. Thanks a hackish python 
module the tests get invoked from within the pyunit framework, which 
means they get run with Scripts/allTestsTogether.py.

I won't check this in until I fix the issues that made me start on 
these unittests, and there are some issues with the code that I want to 
fix.

-1 on delaying the release for this.

Primary reason: NSInvocation also has problems with some of these 
structs (rader bug #3407625). And this is probably a non-issue for most 
users, nobody complained before.

I'll try to get 1.0rc2 out tonight.
