sure about the v.generalize modification. Topology debugging tool sound's
generally useful. Perhaps it could be part of v.generalize interface or a
standalone module (build with v.generalize in the same way as r.colors and
r3.colors are) but for tests it really doesn't matter.

If I turn the tests into a test suite script, I will use a vector from

This is ok. MarkusN says we should use the new dataset but I think it is
not yet stable.

source code will be executed as test, so in your case, it should be enough
just to put the command to .sh file together with the appropriate export
command for the environmental variable. I'm afraid this feature is not
really documented (except for emails) because I did it in last minute and
it is not the best practice. Anyway, posting command is fine if the only
thing needed is to check return status.
