This is pretty much what I was proposing, although I'd probably put more 
tests into one .ml file.

I will make an initial test today and post a link to the results here. 
Perhaps interested people could take a look and we could continue after 
the initial review.

I'm considering the use of OMake for the tester.  I wonder if people are 
much against that?  At least it works on all platforms and is much much 
nicer than GNU Make.
