    I've added a default config.h for VC++ (we don't have a configure script
;-( ). When other WIN32 compilers will be added, we can update it to detect
the compiler and set default accordingly.

    The new assert equals (I guess) make a compiler internal error in the
cppunittests example. Weird, since it works just fine in another of mine
project. I'll look into that and possible workaround (macro, namespace
instead of class) later.

    I think we should add a CPPUNIT_ASSERT_MESSAGE macro,  which take a
boolean and a string which is added to the error message. This would allow
the user to create new assertions. For example, you need to compare complex
numbers with a tolerance.

    What do you think ?

    Worked just fine.
    Thanks,
