Title: [RFC] Tests for METADATA

Given the occasional errors that creep into the METADATA repository, I've always wanted tests for it. However, that was difficult given that `Pkg.resolve` had so many side effects. Hence the eager wait for `Pkg2`.

It turns out that `Pkg2` already has a `check_metadata` method that tests the consistency of the the repository. So the only thing I need to do is to add a travis configuration.

The one thing to consider is where to keep these tests, given that the METADATA repository currently contains only configuration, one directory for each package. I've currently placed it in a _tests directory, but maybe thats not idea.

I've also added some tests to check the validity of the url's for each package.

I can do a rebased version once there is some consensus on merging this.
