Removed simpletest and moved all tests in the unit tree
Tests are executed now, but a lot of them need fixing.

-SimpleTest
-==========
-You probably got this package from...
-http://sourceforge.net/projects/simpletest/
-
-If there is no licence agreement with this package please download
-a version from the location above. You must read and accept that
-licence to use this software. The file is titled simply LICENSE.
-
-What is it? It's a framework for unit testing, web site testing and
-mock objects for PHP 4.2.0+.
-
-If you have used JUnit you will find this PHP unit testing version very
-similar. Also included is a mock objects and server stubs generator.
-The stubs can have return values set for different arguments, can have
-sequences set also by arguments and can return items by reference.
-The mocks inherit all of this functionality and can also have
-expectations set, again in sequences and for different arguments.
-
-A web tester similar in concept to JWebUnit is also included. There is no
-JavaScript or tables support, but forms, authentication, cookies and
-frames are handled.
-
-You can see a release schedule at http://www.lastcraft.com/overview.php
-which is also copied to the documentation folder with this release.
-A full PHPDocumenter API documentation exists at
-http://simpletest.sourceforge.net/.
-
-The user interface is minimal
-in the extreme, but a lot of information flows from the test suite.
-After version 1.0 we will release a better web UI, but we are leaving XUL
-and GTk versions to volunteers as everybody has their own opinion
-on a good GUI, and we don't want to discourage development by shipping
-one with the toolkit.
-
-You are looking at a first full release. The unit tests for SimpleTest
-itself can be run here...
-
-simpletest/test/unit_tests.php
-
-And tests involving live network connections as well are here...
-
-simpletest/test/all_tests.php
-
-The full tests will typically overrun the 8Mb limit usually allowed
-to a PHP process. A workaround is to run the tests on the command
-with a custom php.ini file if you do not have access to your server
-version.
-
-You will have to edit the all_tests.php file if you are accesssing
-the internet through a proxy server. See the comments in all_tests.php
-for instructions.
-
-The full tests read some test data from the LastCraft site. If the site
-is down or has been modified for a later version then you will get
-spurious errors. A unit_tests.php failure on the other hand would be
-very serious. As far as we know we haven't yet managed to check in any
-unit test failures so please correct us if you find one.
-
-Even if all of the tests run please verify that your existing test suites
-also function as expected. If they don't see the file...
-
-HELP_MY_TESTS_DONT_WORK_ANYMORE
-
-This contains information on interface changes. It also points out
-deprecated interfaces so you should read this even if all of
-your current tests appear to run.
-
-There is a documentation folder which contains the core reference information
-in English and French, although this information is fairly basic.
-You can find a tutorial on...
-
-http://www.lastcraft.com/first_test_tutorial.php
-
-...to get you started and this material will eventually become included
-with the project documentation. A French translation exists at...
-
-http://www.onpk.net/index.php/2005/01/12/254-tutoriel-simpletest-decouvrir-les-tests-unitaires.
-
-If you download and use and possibly even extend this tool, please let us
-know. Any feedback, even bad, is always welcome and we will work to get
-your suggestions into the next release. Ideally please send your
-comments to...
-
-simpletest-support@lists.sourceforge.net
-
-...so that others can read them too. We usually try to respond within 48
-hours.
-
-There is no change log as yet except at Sourceforge. You can visit the
-release notes to see the completed TODO list after each cycle and also the
-status of any bugs, but if the bug is recent then it will be fixed in CVS only.
-The CVS check-ins always have all the tests passing and so CVS snapshots should
-be pretty usable, although the code may not look so good internally.
-
-Oh, yes. It is called "Simple" because it should be simple to
-use. We intend to add a complete set of tools for a test first
-and "test as you code" type of development. "Simple" does not
-mean "Lite" in this context.
-
-Thanks to everyone who has sent comments and offered suggestions. They
-really are invaluable, but sadly you are too many to mention in full.
-Thanks to all on the advanced PHP forum on SitePoint, especially Harry
-Feucks. Early adopters are always an inspiration.
-
-yours Marcus Baker, Jason Sweat, Travis Swicegood and Perrick Penet.
