There is nothing scary, really. We just create some necessary files in a tmp-directory and check the functionality of the program. In case of libraries, we build a simple program and link it against tested lib (see a lot of examples in vtk6-package). The skeleton of a test-script can just be copy-pasted. Cheers Anton
