 high failure rate of the self-tests.

 I've run them locally and many open a plot window. Do you have installed
 all the appropriate libraries for plotting? For me, this smells like it is
 clearly not designed for automated testing because I had to close all
 windows manually. Besides that, your script also tests
 {{{/chap7/covsel.bin}}} which is not a python file and also not found by
 the appropriate {{{/chap7/covsel}}} script due to relative paths.

 I appreciate to try to include testing - and in general it makes sense to
 do it - but my point of view is that it is much more important to update
 this years old library and get compiling working on all platforms and
 resort fixing the library later in separate tickets. 0.9 is not useful at
 all.
