Long day, little sleep. Yes, of course.

They're behind TEST_HASH. They currently test every single line of code of all implementations of siphash. I spent a long time on these. The test vectors themselves were taken from the SipHash creators' reference publication. Check out lib/test_siphash.c in my tree.
