Tommaso Cucinotta 5f50ae8f08 Added basic automated testing capability, based on the MonKey Test (keytest.py) by McCabe-Dansted.
As of now, I plan to add a few regression tests for the Advanced Find & Replace using this engine.
It can be used for automated testing of other LyX subsystems as well. Just write your own *-in.txt
scripts and add them into the autotests/ folder.

TODOs:
- perhaps simplify keytest.py
- check how this behaves under various types of failure of the test
  (e.g., LyX crashing, hanging, ...) just to be sure it goes on with
  the other tests anyway.

Automated tests based on the "MonKey Testing" keytest program.
In order to launch all the tests available in this folder, just run
./run-tests.sh
If you wish to launch one or more specific tests, then provide them
as argument to the script, e.g.:
./run-tests.sh <whatever>*-in.txt
For failed tests you get a folder with the logs that help you identify
the problem.
