For example, tests/server.c. This would be a slim version of
server/srv_main.c and server/civserver.c put into one. It produces a
miniature server binary useful only for loading a savegame and running
some tests. The savegame would be eg tests/server.sav.

If by normal code you mean together with code that is linked to produce
the client or the server, then no. If by normal code you mean something
that is an integral part of the distribution and the total codebase, then
yes.

Interesting idea, but too much work to both use and maintain. Also, I want
it totally separate (in a separate directory) from the rest of the code.
