[coin-discuss] how much testing code

[jpfasano at us.ibm.com]

When making fixes and enhancements to the code,
we need to have a reasonable amount of confidence that we didn't break
something else.
The testcases (to the extent) possible should provide this confidence.

The Osi & Cgl classes have static unitTest member functions.
This makes writing test cases just the normal part of writing a class.
I think it is a good practice and if I were the czar (or did I mean
benevolent dictator) it would be required.
