[Push] Examples for Push3

[Lee Spector]

Rud,

There's not an exact port of those tests, but some of the Push3 implementations come with some other tests. There are some tests in the C++ implementation (http://sourceforge.net/projects/push-evolve/) and more in the new Clojure implementation ("Clojush" -- http://hampshire.edu/lspector/clojush/). However, all of these are written in ways that depend on implementation-specific configuration/run idioms, and in Clojush's case on implementation-specific instruction names (because Clojure's rules for symbol names are somewhat restrictive -- e.g. one can't use ".").

Clojush also includes a "stress-test" function that generates and runs random programs, just to see if any produce errors or fail to produce a resulting Push state. It doesn't check to see that the results are what they should be.

It would be great to have something more systematic for Push3, but that's what there is now as far as I know.
