I have now removed things related to testing from the main package and 
modified the RemoteREngine.test package so that it contains what is 
needed for unit testing using testng.

When the package is installed, using R CMD INSTALL it only __compiles__ 
the test case classes. To run them, for the moment, you need to :

- start a server called "RemoteREngineTest"
- run the file called runtests in the exec directory of the 
RemoteREngine.test package, or use its run function:

$ Rscript -e "RemoteREngine.test:::run()"

This copies files from the installed test package (because you do not 
necessarily have write access where these files live) and runs ant which 
then runs testng.

ATM, R is used to copy files (build.xml and testng.xml) but also inside 
the build.xml (using my R ant package). I'll work on something that 
extracts everything from the package into a zip that can be deployed in 
another machine without R, so that the test suite would just be : "unzip 
the file and run ant" later.

Now someone has to convert the test cases from junit to testng.
