+Running the test cases
+======================
+Extensive unittests and test cases are included under the *tests* folder.
+
+To build the tests, you will need the `scons`__ build system. The tests should
+be runnable on most platforms. Windows and Linux builds are regularly tested.

+
+In addition to the build system, you will also need a working Google Protocol
+Buffers *protoc* compiler, and the Python bindings for Protocol Buffers. On
+Debian-based systems, install the following packages: *protobuf-compiler*,
+*python-protobuf* and *libprotobuf-dev*.
