I think unit tests are a great idea.  At a minimum, system tests that
focus on particular commands.  Over the last few reglookup releases
I've mostly been running the same commands on old versions and new
versions, then doing semi-scripted diffs between the output.
Scripting something like that would be a start (though it clearly has
limitations in the long run).

If you come up with anything, I'd be interested to hear about how you
implemented it.

cheers,
