i've added a missing test for the cronbach alpha dialog (using the "fuzzy 
output" option for the first time in history, it seems ;-)) and cleaned up a 
little:
 o http://reaktanz.de/stuff/R/irt_tests.diff

since one can't use the results of one test in another, i wonder what would be 
best practice to test all the plot and goodness-of-fit parts that need the 
estimated parameters produced by the tested functions?

i see three possible ways:

1. recalculate the estimates a second time
2. save all needed objects from a test run and store them in tests/MYTESTSUITE
   as well somehow
3. pave the way in test suite design to make objects re-usable if necessary

option 1 seems to me a waste of cpu time, and would slow down each test run. 
option 2 would produce some redundancies (saved objects and result outputs) 
and use up disk space. so i'd vote for option 3 ;-)

what say you?
