Test infrastructure
This release of OpenFAST adds a testing framework for unit testing and regression testing at the OpenFAST and sub module level. Unit tests have been incorporated to BeamDyn. Regression tests have been added for the OpenFAST glue code and BeamDyn.

C++ glue code API
A new API has been added which provides a high level API to run OpenFAST through a C++ glue code. The primary purpose of the C++ API is to help interface OpenFAST to external programs like CFD solvers that are typically written in C++.
