Unit testing and such

Mixed progress so far. Crash from help screen was trivial to track, but during running if a full run is allowed or during cleanup if I abort early, the program crashes. Not sure if they are the same error, but working through Valgrind to fix it. Speaking of that, apparently Valgrind is allergic to static exes because it can't hook (or maybe just ID?) functions, so don't do it. The dynamic build was apparently broken, but now its fixed (/usr/local/bin/ld: ../bin/uvudec: hidden symbol `__dso_handle' in /usr/lib/gcc/i386-redhat-linux/4.1.2/crtbegin.o is referenced by DSO: change from ld to gcc -dynamic)
One thing I've been meaning to do for a bit is implement unit testing. I'm considering CppUnit (http://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/cppunit/index.php?title=Main_Page) since its based off of JUnit which is pretty standard and the Google framework (http://code.google.com/p/googletest/downloads/list) also looked pretty appealing.
