I prefer this approach. It makes it easier for developers to submit
tests along with their changes, as is the case with our regression
tests now.

By library functions, I'm assuming you mean helper libraries related
to gluster, which will be used in the tests which will be written.
I'm also in favor of including them here as well. This will help keep
DiSTAF free of an Gluster specific cruft and allow it to be (possibly)
reusable by others.
