I hadn't thought of running the tests on Xen, though that does make sense.

I'd need some way for OUnit to run tests that return a unit Lwt.t.

Also, it appears that calling register more than once overwrites the
previous job, rather than configuring the project to build both (the
unikernel and the tests).
