How to measure battery pack discharge

UPDATE - January 1st 2013 - Happy New Year. I''ve just been asked offlist by somebody about the LM317 circuit I mentioned for constant current discharge. Here is an example. I copied this from the very useful and relevant webpage on LED driving - here and they in turn copied it from an LM317 data sheet.
