I've been rethinking how the API test binaries are generated and built as
part of some restructure work on the test framework.  My first thought was
to convert the build to use CMake.  In the course of creating the CMake
script, there were a number of issues that needed to be resolved, such as
where the libraries and include files were located, where to generate the
CMake output, issues with having to constantly switch between 32- and 64-
bit builds, what platforms are supported, etc.

I'm starting to think that the easiest solution to this would be to move
the test sources into the main development tree, then generate the test
binaries as part of the build.  This eliminates a lot of the build issues,
and also ensures that the tests will be picking up binaries that match the
interpreter version being tested.

This is really pretty trivial to do.  The binaries will be built into the
normal output directory, but will not be included as part of the install.
I'm really thinking there are some big wins here.  Does anybody see any
downsides with doing this?
