In terms of running all the tests in 'batch mode' i.e. loading no
personal configuration files (for development purposes), I have put
together a small 'test-init.el' file to do that.

The emacs command is:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---

$ /path/to/emacs/Emacs -batch -l /path/to/org/testing/test-init.el

--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

The test-init.el file should be in the testing directory which should
also be the local directory.

Below are the test-init.el file and the generated results.
All tests are currently passing.
