Hi Bastiaan: I have to confess that I screwed with a couple of things
in CVS way back in July and haven't put them right yet.  Following the
discussions on test fixtures, I introduced TestFixture.h and intended
to recode TestCase to use it.  Unfortunately, I got distracted and
haven't finished all that work yet.  If you prefer to revert these
changes, I won't be offended.  In fact, I have been planning to revert
the change myself.  I'll try to do so this weekend, unless I hear
otherwise from you.

I'm here.  I'm still interested in CppUnit development: I've been
using CppUnit for my coding since June.  One reason that I haven't
done any work on cppunit is that I have gotten used to many of its
quirks.

If no-one else volunteers, I can certainly make releases of
CppUnit.  I'm still around to work on CVS, in any case.
