The problem is that our own test framework which makes testing avalon
components easier is not working 100% after all the redesigns we had
recently. So we need to fix that...

Anyways, I think we should try to fix all tests before a release. If we
turn them off by default we could also just remove them as noone will
care. (Though the tough question is of course if someone cares today)
