Litecoin: Protocol and default settings
0) Adjust BIP16 & BIP30 enforcement values

1) Reduce amount that peers can adjust our time to eliminate an attack vector. Thanks to
coblee for this fix.

2) Zeitgeist2 patch - thanks to Lolcust and ArtForz. This fixes an issue where a
51% attack can change difficulty at will. Go back the full period unless it's the
first retarget after genesis.

3) Avoid overflow in CalculateNextWorkRequired(). Thanks to pooler for the overflow fix.

4) SegWit ContextualCheckBlockHeader adjustment and extra coverage

5) Reject peer proto version below 70002. Thanks to wtogami for this patch.

6) Adjust default settings for Litecoin

Notes

The sources in this directory are unit test cases. Boost includes a unit testing framework, and since litecoin already uses boost, it makes sense to simply use this framework rather than require developers to configure some other framework (we want as few impediments to creating unit tests as possible).

The build system is setup to compile an executable called "test_litecoin" that runs all of the unit tests. The main source file is called test_bitcoin.cpp, which simply includes other files that contain the actual unit tests (outside of a couple required preprocessor directives). The pattern is to create one test file for each class or source file for which you want to create unit tests. The file naming convention is "<source_filename>_tests.cpp" and such files should wrap their tests in a test suite called "<source_filename>_tests". For an examples of this pattern, examine uint160_tests.cpp and uint256_tests.cpp.

Add the source files to /src/Makefile.test.include to add them to the build.

For further reading, I found the following website to be helpful in explaining how the boost unit test framework works: http://www.alittlemadness.com/2009/03/31/c-unit-testing-with-boosttest/.
