Done.  There is a new "sandbox.ss" module in the handin server that
provides the code testing functionality that the handin-server is
using, but it's available without using the rest of the handin-server
so it can be used off-line.  The documentation (in
handin-server/doc.txt) has been updated accordingly.

BTW, something that may be interesting there for situations where you
want to write tests that involve resource limits is a `with-limits'
form that restricts time and memory use of its body (it will simply
raise an exception if it runs out of time or memory).
