Running tests caveat

When cloning project, references ar files have to be created first, as reference files coming with new timestamps and UID/GID.

To do so simply run make init_test once.

You can then run make tests.

Note : Test initialization need ar tool to be installed. Running tests on some platform/OS may not be possible, then. But this does not mean edgar cannot be used on those platform/OS.
