These are all internal functions so we can do whatever we like here, might
as well make it as useful as possible.

Ok, by me...the unittests were originally in the directory with the code
and got moved to samples, but I still keep mine in the dblib directory, I 
just don't add it to CVS. :)

configure seemed to work here, but cvs update didn't bring down a
unittests directory under dblib, is it checked in?

by the way, I sent off an email to LinuxCare (they had an announcement on
slashdot offering jitterbug based bug tracking for open source projects),
and seeing how I have barely enough time to program as is, it seemed like
a good idea to let someone else maintain it.  So with any luck, we'll have
a bug tracking system soon.
