I think there is a need to use custom programs for testing of things that we
doesn't want to support. Now, the std: transport should make this less of an
issue but there are still a few connection points that doesn't support
std (smux comes to mind).

I think it would also be good if we could just compile some trivial subagent
that isn't the main agent and try to register and unregister items as well as
answer queries from the master agent so that that part of the code is
exercised.

The main reson is to achieve better coverage of the code. The faulty packages
are needed to test the error handling code.
