I have a suggestion for how the unit test "calls" the XComponent.

The unit testing framework creates an XPipe on the fly - of length 1 - the 
XComponent
to be tested. It then invokes the XPipe engine feeding it the test inputs
and checking the real test outputs against the desired outputs.

In other words, the Unit testing framework sits on top of the
XPipe engine. One engine two environments - unit test (developer),
real user files (user).

How does that sound?
