In the io package there's a "test_spsh" script + two helper functions that
checks all interfaces one by one, depending on presence of Java libs added
to the javaclasspath (+ on Windows, loaded windows package + MS-Office).

It's made that way to have consistent checks for all "interfaces", among
others. I suppose it should be possible to morph test-spsh.m into tests that
conform to Octave's regular test format but currently it serves my purpose
and I fear it would become quite messy to rewrite it.
