Does not matter, handled by svn (and even if not, by FPC).

Units can be placed in the same directory as the test program. You can  
just add the to the uses clause of your program. The name doesn't  
matter (other than that it shouldn't start with a "t"), but by  
convention they start with "u" for our tests. Note that we generally  
don't create separate subdirectories for our tests, they're all  
located in only a few, large directories. See http://svn.freepascal.org/svn/fpc/trunk/tests/ 
. We could add an extra alglib directory there in which all of your  
tests are placed.

No, the entire testsuite itself is tested using different parameters.
