Hey Guys,

A heads up. Chris and I just got his tarmac job updated to run unit 
tests as part of new MPs. The test script is very lightweight and only 
does out unit-tests. It takes just at 60 seconds right now, so it 
shouldn't be too cumbersome.

If you want to test things locally, you can simply run:
 ./tarmac.sh

This creates a temp-directory with a python-venv, runs our tests, and 
deletes the temp-directory. Thus, it *should* be a non-destructive thing 
you can easily try out.

Its not perfect, but mathematically speaking is now infinitely better 
than what we had. I'd gladly accept patches that clean up the output or 
deal with the results better (subunit would be ideal) so its easier to 
track what exactly failed in an MP.
