You can import these files in your scripts with `use <MCAD/*.scad>`, but some
files include useful constants which will be available with `include <MCAD/*.scad>`,
which should be safe to use on all included files (ie. no top level code should
create geometry). (There is a bug/feature that prevents including constants from
files that "include" other files - see the openscad mailing list archives for more
details. Since the maintainers aren't very responsive, may have to work around this
somehow)

### Testing ###
I've started a minimal testing infrastucture for OpenSCAD code. It's written in
python and uses py.test (might be compatible with Nose also). Just type py.test
python and uses py.test (might be compatible with Nose also). Just type `py.test`
inside the lib dir in a terminal and you should see a part of the tests passing
and tracebacks for failing tests. It's very simplistic still, but it should test
that no syntax errors occur at least.
