OK, but the naming 'test999.ml' sux :)

Random contributions require a more consistent naming scheme.
So how about:

test_<author>_<module>_<name>.ml

<author> is the authors initials eg rj, js, nc, jh.
<module> is the Extlib module being tested, or 'multi' if more
than one.

<name> is a suggestion what the test is about, possibly with
some digits, abbreviated, or just a random code of some kind.

All the letters shall be lower case.

Example:

test_js_enum_iter01.ml

The tests all get checked into a CVS repository module
distinct from the library. 

Nicolas will name and create it?

Within that module, a directory 'utests' will contain the
actual tests .. and nothing else. The Makefile, mainline,
etc should be kept separate from the tests. The idea is basically
anyone can add tests, but one person should be responsible for
the harness.

Comments, improvements, violent disagreements?
