We introduce a mechanism by which tests can easily access configure-time
parameters (like @PERL@, @AWK@, ...).
It works by "sourcing" a file named config.sh (residing in the build tree):
. "$MC_TEST_EXTFS_CONFIG_SH"
$PERL -e 'print "hello"'
(Although config.sh has a shell syntax, Perl and Python programs too can
benefit from it, because it can be sourced into an .env_vars file and the
values exported from there.)
Of course, one can also use the traditional method, of *.in files listed in
configure.ac, but the mechanism introduced here is a more comfortable approach.

Overview
--------
This tree contains unit tests.
To compile and run the tests, do 'make check' (either in the top folder,
or just in the folder containing the tests you're interested in).
IMPORTANT: To compile the tests, you need to have the "Check" unit
testing framework[1] installed.[2] If you have it installed, you will see
"Unit tests: yes" in configure's summary message; if you don't see this
message, you won't be able to compile the tests.[3]
Tips and tricks
---------------
* To be able to step with the debugger into test code, see [4]. E.g., do:
$ export CK_FORK=no

[2]: Your package manager likely has it.
[3]: Actually, some tests (like src/vfs/extfs/helpers-list) don't use
this framework and will compile just fine. But that's the exception.
