These are both in the same direction and with the conditional I'm 
already working but they don't overcome the problem that I have to 
create a separate file for single-unit testing. The directory is 
cluttered already so I thought it would be nice to have a main in the 
unit. Hm, I think code says more then words, so that's what I was trying:

<file name="hello.c">
void hello() {}
#ifdef TEST
void hellotest() {
	hello();
}
int hellotestmain() {
	hellotest();
}
#endif // TEST
</file>

<file name="alltests.c">
int alltestsmain() {
	hellotest();
}
</file>

g++ hello.c -c				// for normal use
g++ -DTEST hello.c -c -o testhello.o	// for testing purposes
g++ alltests.c -c
g++ alltests.o testhello.o -Wl,-e,_alltestsmain -o alltests
g++ testhello.o -Wl,-e,_hellotestmain -o hellotest

This way I could test each unit on its own or all together

tnx
