Subject: A better organization for tests

Hi guys,

when I started to work on SASL code, I moved the test into a specific 
operations.bind package in order to have a clean place to work. Then we 
discussed with Alex and we found that splitting tests into several 
packages, one per operation, would be a great thing.

Alex started to do that on server integ, and you can see that we have 
operations.add, operations.del, etc.

The good thing about this is that it allows us to get a better operation 
coverage, as we now have one unique place where we have all the tests 
about one single operation.

There is also something messy about the current tests : we have many 
DIRSERVER-xxxTest which cover one very specific bug. Having a new 
regression test for each bug is good, but it might be better to inject 
those tests into the operation they belongs to.

So here is a proposal : what about cleaning the tests, and order all the 
spreaded tests into the correct package, when we have defined all of them ?

Also, I think we have to go through the RFCs and check of we cover all 
the corner cases for each operations (I'm pretty sure we aren't...)

wdyt ?
