[GRASS-dev] Backport gunittest and tests to 7.0?

[Vaclav Petras]

I forgot to mention this but incompatibility with 2.6 is another argument
against backport. See the Tests down to 65% (from 86%) thread for further
details.

However, nothing should stop you from adding gunittest to PYTHON_HOME and
running trunk tests with release branch GRASS.
