Changed this to:
    \setvariables
      [tree]
      [1='Some very long text to try to get to much text for the box to fit in. There is a lot of room. Just some other text to finish it of. With this line added, there is to much text.',
       2=Two,
       3=Three,
       4=Four,
       5=Five,
       6=Six,
       7=Seven,
       8=Eight,
       9=Nine,
       10=Ten,
       11=Eleven,
       12=Twelf,
       13=Thirtheen
      ]

That comes quit a bit to what I want. When I use this and then I
execute:
    texexec --batchmode --purge --silent testTree.tex
an error is signalled. When I remove the last sentence from the first
parameter, it signals success.

My only remaining problem is that I want to use parameters to input
the values for the boxes. How would I do that?
