I've moved the filter plugins to src/std, which build Ok now, and am making some changes to the filter tests.  I've copied the xRecord.dbd file and dbChannelTest.db into the filter/test directory rather than try to use them from some remote directory.  Successfully loading the .dbd and .db files should not be counted as tests, they are pre-conditions of the actual tests to be able to run, so if they fail the test code should call call testAbort().

Is chfPluginTest.t supposed to produce these warnings?
  chfPluginTest.t ..... 1/1755
  Plugin buggy: provided storage (2 bytes) for i is too small for long (4)
  Plugin buggy: provided storage (2 bytes) for d is too small for double (8)
  Plugin buggy: provided storage (2 bytes) for s is too small for string (>= 4)
  Plugin buggy: provided storage (2 bytes) for c is too small for enum (4)
  chfPluginTest.t ..... ok         

All the tests pass on linux-x86, but when I run them on 64-bit Linux chfPluginTest.t fails lots of tests and then core-dumps.  I also get the following warning from arrTest and a similar core-dump:
  Plugin arr: provided storage (4 bytes) for s is too small for long (8)
Looking more deeply, the code inside chfPlugin.c is using long data types when it should be using epicsInt32.  I'm working on fixing this, but it might take some time.
