You could probably do most of the testing without running in a
subhurd.  It seems to me that make check spawning a subhurd might
introduce too many unknowns.

I'm supposed to look into cunit for Mailutils.  But the idea behind
cppunit and junit, is that you inherit the object and apply a testing
framework to that.  That way you can test interfaces and such at the
unit level.

We're just getting into it - subscribe to bug-mailutils if you want to
watch (or help) with out successes and failures.
