Summary: assert methods testing result of compareTo

Initial Comment:
I have had the need to test the result of calling 
compareTo on several occasions. Therefore, I have a 
added a number of methods to Assert which assert that 
the result of calling compareTo is smaller than zero, 0, or 
greater than zero for the specified arguments. I have 
added corresponding tests to AssertTest.

Please let me know if you have any questions or 
comments.

Thanks.

I could use assertEquals if I applied Math.signum() to the
result of the compare()/compareTo() method call.

However, this is far from readable and, what's worse, does
not communicate intent.

Thank you for your follow-up.

You can use assertEquals(int, int) for this purpose, can't you?
