I have several programs that quickly calculate the capacitance. The problem
that
I have is in finding an accurate (and reliable) method of measuring the
"actual"
capacitance, not theoretical.

Patrick,
I don't have a capacitance meter either and was lucky enough to be able to
borrow one from a friend. I would suggest to use a variac and place the
capacitor to measure in series with a known capacitor and both across the
output of the variac. Apply a small amount of AC and measure the voltage
across both caps and calculate the value of the unknown cap.
