Thanks.  :)  I've gone ahead and updated them to include your
comments, and also some covering grid tests.  I am pleased with where
they're at now -- I'm inclined to say that they cover a lot of good
ground in yt.  I think I'm getting the hang of unit (instead of just
answer) testing.

I think that the testing initiative we've talked about is going to
come together.  For anybody else interested in helping out with
testing, do these tests make sense?  Have you been able to run them on
your machine?  You should be able to grab and go with:

nosetests -w yt -v -e "answer_testing" -e "kdtree"

from the main yt directory.  You need nose installed, but it's pip-installable.
