  I moved the WIN32 question to doc/FAQ. It's in text format for now since I
don't know how to use Doxygen to generate stuffs like a TOC, but then, there
is only 4 questions... I added a generic question (to hint at the macros...)
:

1.1) Isn't there an easier way to write unit tests than using TestCaller ?

   Yes, there is. Macros have been created to take care of the repetitive
work. Look up include/extensions/HelperMacros.h in CppUnit documentation.
Most of CppUnit test suite is also written that way since they remain
compatible as CppUnit evolve. They also use RTTI if available.

    Feel free to reword.

    Baptiste.
