Yes. docs/curl.1 is the curl documentation and docs/libcurl/curl_easy_setopt.3
for the new setopt option.

Yes. Run 'make test' and you'll see a few hundred tests run. The tests/
directory has a README, there's a FILEFORMAT and runtests.pl has a man page
here: http://curl.haxx.se/dev/runtests.html

Then of course you can check the tests/data/tests[num] files to see how other
tests are implemented.

Well, I'm not an expert on OAUTH or your implementation so please correct me
if I'm wrong but are you basically providing the token "as-is" ? We have a
test server and we can pretend that the token you send is fine, so we can have
the test server respond an OK resonse. And we can have it return a reject
response. The tests are written explicitly and we tell the test server exactly
that the response should be in each test, and the test running script makes
sure that curl sends the correct protocol parts and gets the correct stuff
back...
