It seems that OUnit doesn't actually depend on anything
else (well, except findlib for the build procedure, but
that's easily remedied -- it's just one module after all),
so I'm guessing you mean that you don't want ExtLib to
become dependent on OUnit...?

What about just bundling a version of OUnit with ExtLib?
The code seems to be under a BSD-ish license (w/o
advertising clause), so this would be permitted and it
shouldn't really cause any maintenance issues as the OUnit
code (nor any code using OUnit) shouldn't be installed
anyway.

Cheers,
