* cppunit / build issues (Stephan/Moggi/Michael)
+ --disable-cve-tests - useful on windows wrt. anti-virus

+ indifferent about --disable-xmlsec
+ only intended for iOS / Android currently, should
not be used on Linux.

set for non iOS / Android

test running & coverage (Markus)

coretext (Norbert)
+ 'make build' already exists (Markus)
+ not widely publicised
+ disables all unit tests in the build
+ problem is it doesn't build an install-set
+ can run make cmd cmd=bin/ooinstall after that
+ Ubuntu disables tests during the build already, so
make check runs them in a separate phase (Bjoern)
+ disabling unit tests generally seems a bad idea, each time
unit tests break - turned out to be a regression (Fridrich)
+ potential unit test performance problems
