Summary: Provide assert method for making "strictless" chess

Initial Comment:
For using the assertXPathEvaluatesTo() method the expected string must match the actual completely.
If you just want to check if the evaluation contains a substring this is not possible at the moment.

Suggestion:

    protected void assertXPathEvaluationContains(String expected, String xpath, Document document) throws XPathExpressionException {
        XPathExpression xpathExpression = XPathFactory.newInstance().newXPath().compile(xpath);
        String evaluate = xpathExpression.evaluate(document);
        if (expected == null) {
            assertNull(evaluate);
        } else {
            assertNotNull(evaluate);
            assertTrue(evaluate.contains(expected));
        }
    }

(maybe another implementation - I dont know the internals of XMLUnit)


cheers
Jan
