Modulo the legacy implications.

Tip: Find the lowest-level functions you can, maybe things as simple as a
glorified strcat(), and write unit tests on them.

Put the unit tests into a suite, and link this from both your main app,
using
the /in vivo/ test technique, _and_ into a console-only test program.

Now slowly but relentlessly put as many lines of code under the command of
tests in the console-ready suites, so eventually the console-only test
program does the most work.
