Script Testing

## Considered Alternatives

- http://pythonpaste.org/scripttest/
  - easy to work with
  - can only trace a single directory (would not work with /etc + ~)
  - extra dependency not in any distro
- robotframework
  - additional (fat) dependency
  - integration with cmake?
  - does not allow to capture stdout, stderr + return code
- expect
  - interactive testing (e.g. for kdb mount)
  - quite long for simple things (e.g. check /bin/true needs 4 lines)
  - new syntax for Elektra (TCL)
  - additional dependency
