I've played on Python and Ruby.

Checking what there's available for C I found "Check"[1][2]. It looks
interesting for me. 

1. http://check.sourceforge.net/
2. http://check.sourceforge.net/doc/check.html/Test-a-Little.html#Test-a-Little

We'll need to write some special things for our use while building
tests, something like:

 - an easy way to make a loopback device for use;
 - an easy way to simulate a filesystem on loopback;

Specially the last is interesting, for example, for the linux-swap
code that's being developed to be tested.
