Define "good" solution :)
- Close to optimal: impossible to know the optimal for most realistic 
problems (and extrapolating quality from easier, smaller problems is broken)
- Better than other algorithms: that's why planner has the benchmarker.

My advice is to use the benchmarker and configure different algo's (see 
the examples *SolverBenchmark.xml) and a distinct set of datasets.
Then a bad solution should stick out like a sore thumb in the benchmark 
report.
