There are a few in server/sql/test-data/ .  The Star Trek crew
has a bit more data such as vaccinations, episodes etc. To be
expanded !

Currently, one would call gmPatient.create_dummy_identity()
which returns a new ID which can then be passed into
gmPatient.gmCurrentPatient() (if you want to immediately
change the currently selected patient) or gmPatient.gmPerson()
(if you want to muck around with that person's record but
leave the currently selected patient alone).

Ian an me were discussing of how to best take this to a higher
level of abstraction for when we will (have to) interface
with, say, LDAP. However, for a stock SQL backend the
described method should work (barring bugs).
