This isn't really unit testing. The unit tests come later where a webcam
looks at the display and determines whether or not it's scrolling correctly.

I installed a lovely perl module the other day that started unit testing
which required it spawning a bunch of X windows and I thought the NSA had
taken over my computer until I remembered what was going on.

There may be a reason I chose PNM over PNG. I was going to go even stricter
than that, and require a certain pallete, but that works too.
