Does anyone have any insight as to why they're working on this? It seems 
like a pretty good example of NIH. CppUnit, while a little crufty in 
places, is featureful, easy-to-use, robust, and very similar to other unit 
testing frameworks (JUnit et al), which have gained acceptance in the 
industry.

In fact, I was just able to sell my boss on incorporating the use of 
CppUnit into our dev process. The fact that I was able to download it, 
build it, construct a simple test, and get things running as post-build so 
easily definitely strengthened my case.
