Reply to Kristofer:

API Stability is good. exactly the reason why I'm not dumping DUnit for
DUnit/X.

1. Don't you wish you could use the GUI test runner to go to the source
code of a failing test?

2. Don't you wish you could go from the opened unit in the IDE
(MyUnitTestCase333.pas) to that same unit node in the running project
(either via searching, or some process better than blind hunting?)
