Merge the fixes that we're using on Debian currently.

Of course, it's not intended to be release with 1.8.0.

Do a brief look at:

http://svn.debian.org/wsvn/parted/debian/trunk/parted/exp/debian/patches/?rev=0&sc=0

Have you played with any unittesting library?

Right.

What the rest of people think about we do all those releases from
darcs branches? I would like to avoid keep using Subversion for Parted
otherwise we need to monitor both and merge between both every time.

Personally I would like to start a 1.8.x branch and start to push
fixes there.
