Hmmm it looks like it was something Mark (Leslie) was working on, though 
I get GTK reference errors so they would have absolutely no chance of 
running unless ./configure was run with --with-gui.

I'm not sure that you can actually unit test an interface, and given 
that the lower level liblwgeom functions should be exercised in the unit 
tests there, I'm not quite sure what these can achieve? Mark, any comments?
