[geos-devel] First example of Unit Tests with TUT

[strk at refractions.net]

Thank you Mateusz,
They build w/out problems.
I've committed them. Next we want them to be run by 'make check'.
Currently it runs but it's invoked with no args and appears to
succeed when in fact does nothing. As we discussed on #postgis
I'll wait for a patch to it.
