Ok so for the moment test is just for lib.

For me we must test for the moment launch application and test them.
There are a lot of bugs just after launch them.
And into kde there is a lot of application that nobody test.


And there is other pb with the new build system, some files were not install, 
or installed with not good attribute etc.

I think that we will have a lot of bugs, and it will easy (I think) to test 
them. (for example compile and test kde4.0 install, launch and report all 
bugs)

I think that it will a good idea to start to create little method to test 
kde4.0 for the begining.
