configure some other framework (we want as few impediments to creating
unit tests as possible).
The build system is setup to compile an executable called "test_bitcoin"
The build system is setup to compile an executable called `test_bitcoin`
that runs all of the unit tests. The main source file is called
test_bitcoin.cpp, which simply includes other files that contain the
`test_bitcoin.cpp`, which simply includes other files that contain the
actual unit tests (outside of a couple required preprocessor
directives). The pattern is to create one test file for each class or
source file for which you want to create unit tests. The file naming
