I have added the 'test' button (with the F4 shortcut), and a 'unit 
tests' tab in the debug panel that displays the output of the tests in a 
terminal. Nothing more.

I will add a 'test that class' menu in the project tree too.

Note that 'gb.test' is now an hidden component that is automatically 
loaded by the interpreter when running in test mode.
