Re: Unit tests

The only way to force that is to make running them compulsory at the
end of each build.
Otherwise, sooner or later, people will start skipping them and they
will be made useless again.

Maybe we need continuous integration server somewhere? My experience
shows that this is required in order to keep a hand on the tests
properly.
