The test now checks the volume of the basicgeometry-objects (as far as I have
been able to calculate a reference value for the volume, i.e. feel free to
supply values for the 3D non-affine geometries).  The volume check currently
fails for non-affine quadrilaterals in a 3D space, yielding

  Volume: 1.22474, but 1.28079 was expected!

I am not 100% sure that I calculated the area correctly though; if someone
else wants to have a go, the corners of the quadrilateral are (x,y,z):

  (0,0,0), (1,0,0), (0,1,0), (1,1,1)

Bye,
Jö.
