Does the file usr/local/share/cppunit/html/index.html exists ? If I
remember, I think cppunit/html is the root for generated docs, and contains
a subdirectory for each format (rtf, html, latex...)

It should definitively be -I/home/robert/cppunit/include/. How it works is
beyond me.

  Yuups, that's pretty much what I was talking about. Please notes that
dynamic_cast<> is not allowed in cppunit core lib (not portable enough it
seems). Deep hierarchy exploration and findTestByName() will be done in a
portable way adding a more composite like interface to class Test:

class Test
{
    [...]

    virtual int getChildTestCount() const;

    virtual Test *getChildTest( int index ) const;

    virtual Test *findTestByName( const std::string &testName ) const;
}

Default implementation will be provided for 'leaf' (no child test).

But I want to get 1.8.0 out before I tackle this (there's already far too
much new features in that release).

Baptiste.
