I have now built tests for this. Both blackbox and normal. I also
merged jam-integration, because it makes blackbox tests work.  I put
all blackbox tests into one test method, don't know if that's the
wrong thing to do or not (they really do three tests, in one). Please
take a look and see what you think.
