Bugs fixed in 0.1.0pre4:
========================

  testsuite/test_{} test or moved the test to the lifev-sandbox
* added lifecore/testsuite for small tests programs related to lifecore
* life libraries should be std:: clean. no more using namespace std::
  it is a very bad programming pratice in the long run
