Ichthyostega 155bf95ce5 Doxygen: magically insert a reference to the test class 
this bit of Sed magic relies on the fact that we happen to write
the almost correct class name of a test into the header comment.

HOWTO:
for F in $(find tests -type f \( -name '*.cpp' \)  -exec egrep -q '§§TODO§§' {} \; -print);
  do sed -r -i -e'
    2          {h;x;s/\s+(.+)\(Test\).*$/\\ref \1_test/;x};
    /§§TODO§§/ {s/§§TODO§§//;G;s/\n//}'
    $F;
done

GUI backbone tests

The tests in this subtree are a bit special: they cover the generic and
backbone internals of the Lumiera GTK GUI. They are linked against the
complete GUI-module (gui plugin), and thus may use all related ABIs.

Yet these tests are *deliberately* compiled without any GTK, GTKmm or SigC
includes. This effectively rules out the use, even indirectly, of any GTK
widgets and APIs -- forcing the covered GUI backbone entities to stay
clean and generic at API level.

This is a decision done on purpose. The concrete GUI framework technology
shall be treated as an implementation detail. There is no point in writing
tests which click buttons in the GUI -- better delegate any significant
logic or functionality to GUI agnostic components. GUI is meant to be
a presentation layer and must not develop intelligence on its own.
