Everything seems to work now, and all the buildbots except win32 (which
has a longstanding unit_tests failure, and what looks like a
canonicalization issue in one of the new tests) are green.

The new testsuite seems to be "done" now, but some things aren't optimal
yet. In particular I'd like to make tester fairly independent from the
rest of monotone by factoring out sanity.{cc,hh} and dependencies into a
libsanity or similar, and by making tester (and libsanity) not depend on
paths.{cc,hh} or the vocab* files (or constants.{cc,hh}).

So far it looks like sanity and dependencies make very minimal use of
these files, so this shouldn't be (much of) a problem. I'll post again
when I have a better idea of exactly how much would need to be changed.
