OK, support for test modules has been added in the compiler, the 
archiver and the development environment in the last commit.

Now we should link that to how gb.test works (if there is something to 
do), and add an option to the interpreter that tells him to run the 
tests (some of them, all of them...).

That option can just be a string that is sent to an hardcoded 'gb.test' 
method that will interpret it and do the job.

Is it possible to add to the IDE a button that run the tests and display 
the result in a nice GUI, provided that the text returned by the test is 
in a standard format? (I think then that the test output cannot be sent 
to the standard output or the error output of the process).
