 There is a "test" subdirectory under ${WRKSRC}.  There is a "caca-test.cpp"
 but no executable.  Trying to build it manually from the directory, it
 can't locate required headers from "cppunit".
 
 A "simple" and a "bench" test were built.  When run, they claim everything
 passes.
 
 There is also an "examples" directory which contains executables (but
 they are not installed).  They seem to work.
 
 An interesting bit is that "libcaca.so" is linked with "ncurses":
 
 $ ldd /usr/pkg/lib/libcaca.so
 /usr/pkg/lib/libcaca.so:
 	-lncurses.6 => /usr/pkg/lib/libncurses.so.6
 	-lgcc_s.1 => /usr/lib/libgcc_s.so.1
 	-lc.12 => /usr/lib/libc.so.12
 	-lz.1 => /usr/lib/libz.so.1
 
 but when used within 'mplayer' it seems the display is attempted with
 system curses.  Conflict?
