Refactor Unit Tests

Registered by Jesper Öqvist

The unit tests (regression tests) take a long time to compile and run. Split them up into smaller test suites that can be runn all at once or one at a time.

Whiteboard

2010-11-18 jesper: we can run the regressiontests with
../configure --with-thread=pthread --enable-debug && make && ./RegTest

This reduces the compile time by a whole lot since --enable-debug will disable optimizations during C compilation. Using this method for running the regression tests has the disadvantage that optimizations are not tested.

2010-11-19 jesper: Perhaps we should use some other open source java test suite in addition to the regression tests.
