- prototype unit test suite based on CUnit added.
- unit tests for base/generic/general and base/generic/utilites added.
- 2nd manual rework of doxygen documentation in general and utilities.
- bug fixes (mostly general & utilities) found during test development.
- added asc_assert prototype to redirect failures to Asc_Panic() and enable decoupling assertions from NDEBUG.
- some modifications of interface & implementation to facilitate testing.
- utilities/ascPrint & utilities/ascMalloc functions now always included in base libs to minimize recompilation when an interface chooses different options.

25     * Assert implementation override for ASCEND unit tests.
26     * These functions override the default assert implementation to
27     * allow recovery from failed asserts during testing. When using
28     * this implementation, a failed assertion sets a global variable
29     * (g_assert_status) and issues a longjmp() out of the function.
30     *
31     * For example (in test function):
32     * <pre>
33     * g_assert_status = ast_passed;
34     * if (0 == setjmp(g_asc_test_env))
35     * call_function_containing_assertion();
36     *
37     * if (ast_passed == g_assert_status)
38     * ==> no assertions failed <==
39     * else
40     * ==> assertion failed <== </pre>
41     *
42     * If you desire that assert() reverts to standard behavior
43     * (issue a message on stderr and abort the program), call
44     * enable_longjump(FALSE).
45     *
46     * Support is also provided for trapping asc_assert() failures.
47     * This mechanism works by using a callback from Asc_Panic to
48     * issue a longjmp back to test code for asc_assert() failures.
49     * Test code should enable trapping of asc_assert, then use
50     * the global jmp_buf g_asc_test_env and setjmp() to wrap the
51     * code being tested. Functions are provided to check the whether
52     * an asc_assert() failure has occurred and reset the status.
53     *
54     * For example (in test function):
55     * <pre>
56     * asc_assert_catch(TRUE); (* enable trapping of asc_assert() *)
57     * asc_assert_reset(); (* prepare for a test *)
58     * if (0 == setjmp(g_asc_test_env)) (* setjmp using global jmpbuf & call suspect function *)
59     * call_function_containing_assertion();
60     *
61     * if (TRUE == asc_assert_failed()) (* test whether assertion failed *)
62     * ==> no assertions failed <==
63     * else
64     * ==> assertion failed <==
65     * asc_assert_catch(FALSE); (* disable trapping of asc_assert() when done *)
66     * </pre>
