I somehow find it more clear to define all the variables that the
library script uses before we source it. IMHO that is better than having
them scattered all around the script, at this point both the old test.sh
and tst_test.sh scripts enforce that by doing sanity checks on the
variables when the library script is sourced.

Are any advantages for doing the sanity checks in the tst_run function?
