Libraries tests

There's a .test directory containing different libraries tests. They are designed to be independent and should generate (or contain pre-generated) test data which leads to same results disregarding the order tests are executed in.

Coding style

All the public functions are contained in <library name>.asm file, supporting public declarations in <library name>.inc file. All other library-specific (private and auxilary) core functions and declarations are separated into <library name>_p.asm and <library name>_p.inc files. There could also be separate files with self-describing names providing additional functionality.

Functions located in public source files use naming concention as in <function namespace name>.<function name>. Functions located in private source files use naming convention as in <library name>._.<function name>. This allows to separate libraries code when linking statically.

Specific type of function description comments is being used allowing documentation to be generated automatically in the future.
