I feel like you're trying to bait me into coming up with a way of avoiding the main function ;) But I don't think it can really be done in portable/vanilla C, unfortunately. I tried to think of a way to do this, and they all involved some other system coming along and identifying the tests and code-generating a main function, which also seems like too much magic to me.
