Unit test doublespends in new blocks
As suggested by Greg Maxwell-- unit test to make sure a block with a double-spend in it doesn't pass validation if half of the double-spend is already in the memory pool (so full-blown transaction validation is skipped) when the block is received.

For further reading, I found the following website to be helpful in
explaining how the boost unit test framework works:

+test_bitcoin has some built-in command-line arguments; for
+example, to run just the getarg_tests verbosely:
+
+ test_bitcoin --log_level=all --run_test=getarg_tests
+
+... or to run just the doubledash test:
+
+ test_bitcoin --run_test=getarg_tests/doubledash
+
+Run test_bitcoin --help for the full list.
