They require a particular library and by default they are in a different
dir (called agitar-test)
than usual tests. So they are easily discernible.

I could start generating them if you agree. Should I use the trunk or
another branch to show you how they work?
I am sure they won't create problems, so imho we could use the trunk
directly.
