[Scutigena-code] New tests - The Plan

[<da...@de...>]

Ok, so after some discussions with Salvatore, I think I have an idea
of what the next steps should be:

*) Finish the lists test:-)

   Ideas on how to best do this?  I think maybe it's easiest to work
   backwards from what is O(N) for linked list implementations and
   concentrate on excluding everything else?  Maybe the easiest thing
   is just to create a list and pop stuff off the head, something that
   would be slow in a vector implementation.  Other things that
   involve an index 'somewhere in the middle' are going to help out
   the vector implementation...  Right?

*) Create some other tests, both "Get it done" style tests to show
   practical things being done, and "Language feature" tests.  What
   could an initial set of these be?

* Vectors (feature)
* Hash tables/Arrays (feature)

* Reverse a file (practical)
* Word frequency count (practical)

  These tests will be done in Tcl and C, and as people have time, can
  be added in other languages.
