Log Message:
Replace the old and (completely?) useless testsuite with something more
sophisticated.  The goal is to have a full suite of (regression) tests
that verify as most parts of Buildtool as possible (in the aim of TDD).
This way one can add new features and check that they not break previous
funcionality.

It'll also be easier to check all the features before a new version is
released.  Up until now, it was a PITA, as I had to manually build and
install Buildtool in several platforms, and check different projects
that use it, all by hand.  You can imagine that this is a very error
prone (and boring) process.

Each test should be able to execute a set of operations and then verify
that the results are correct to what's expected.  These steps are handled
from the 'test.sh' script inside each subdirectory.

By running 'test.sh' from the top directory, all tests are executed and
a summary is printed at the very end showing which ones went successfully
and which ones failed.

This still lacks a lot of work (i.e., many more tests have to be added),
but the basic functionality is already there.
