    Forgot another item related to template:

    - Default template argument
        Issue: TestCaller use a default template argument to filter no
exception.
        Solution: should be solved when the following item of the TODO list
is done:

            Provide a mean for the user to catch 'custom' exception in
TestCase::run (exception that do not subclass std::exception, such as MFC
CException, or RogueWave RWXMsg).

        TestCaller will probably not need to test for expected exception...

    I looked at STLPort (http://stlport.org/) some and they do just that
(for lowly conformant compiler). So I'll go that way, it keep the code
'clean'. I'll just add an epilog header which will restore 'std' to whatever
is was before it was defined by CppUnit.

        Done. Use const_cast now.

        Done. Use a macro that expands to const_cast if possible or do a
C-style cast (there was just about 5 occurences).
