Hi Thomas,

unfortunately valgrind returns the return-code of the underlying app. I've had 
this disscussion a while ago with valgrind devs. I've asked for another valgrind 
commandline switch like '--valgrind-rc' that would tell valgrind to ignore the 
apps rc, but to return 1 for memleaks etc.. But they didn't liked it.

On the other hand we can use valgrind client requests in the tests.
1.  check if valgrind.h is found
2. include valgrind.h and memcheck.h
3. use VALGRIND_COUNT_ERRORS in start and end of unit-tests to see if there
    have been errors
4. use VALGRIND_DO_LEAK_CHECK and VALGRIND_COUNT_LEAKS for each unit-test
