Requires Xvfb and VICE to be installed. Additionally, it uses the pty module, so it's Linux-only for now. From a test-writing perspective, all that's required is adding a decorator to the test, indicating a gold-syntax file. The decorator arranges for the contents of the C64 memory after the file is run to be passed to the test. Functions by compiling the program, running it in VICE, and breaking at program exit. This activates the VICE monitor, which allows us to send a command to dump the contents of memory to a file, from whence we can read it and pass the bytes to the test. The VICE monitor doesn't work in console mode, so we run it under Xvfb to avoid the window popping up.
Also, tell Travis that it needs to install VICE.
Ubuntu doesn't ship with the ROM binaries necessary to run VICE, so we grab them from sourceforge.
I don't have the energy to get these working with the old version of VICE that Ubuntu ships.
