It actually works. :-)
After coding and debugging the whole day, the test suite runs smoothly
again. Don't wonder where the changes are, I haven't commited them yet.
I'm way too tired to get anything checked in now.

It's a long time until the quarter is over. ;-)

If you've really that little time, I'd take over the BEntry tests and bug
fixes and leave the doxygen stuff for you. Alright?

PS: Vincent, could you provide a header and a source file with empty
    method implementations -- you know, what I mean, just `return B_ERROR'
    bodies.
    This would be nice, because e.g. BStatable and one of the
    find_directory() functions use it.
