* CppUnit:
  - [DONE] Update TextTestRunner to use Test::findTest()
  - [DONE] Introduce a new generic CppUnit::TestRunner
  - [DONE] Update MfcTestRunner to use Test::findTest()
  - Update MfcTestRunner to use TestPath to store test in the registry
  - [DONE] Update QtTestRunner to use findTest()
  - [DONE] Include DllPlugInTester, and update to use findTest() and TestPath().
  - [DONE] Add startSuite() and endSuite() to TestListener and TestResult
  - Add TestResult::protectedRun( ProtectedTest * ) to allow custom exception
  - [DONE] Add a global set up decorator for all test run to TestResult 
    => extends TestListener: startTestRun(), endTestRun().
  - [DONE] Change CompilerOutputter to be customized with parameter instead of subclassing:
    provide a default string to the constructor that indicates the error report format:
	%p => full path (D:\prg\..\File.cpp)
	%f => just the file name (File.cpp)
	%l => line (123)
	For VC++: "%p(%l):"
	For GCC: "%f:%l:"
	String could be defined in the configuration file, and be guessed by configure (?)
	Assume GCC if not VC++ ?
	Notes: gcc error format:
		g++ -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I. -I../../config -I../../include -I../../include -g -O2 -c TextOutputter.cpp -Wp,-MD,.deps/TextOutputter.TPlo  -fPIC -DPIC
		TextOutputter.cpp:5: cppunit/TextOutputter.h: No such file or directory
  - [DISCARDED: UTF8 is enough] True Unicode support:
    - Introduce a new CppUnit::String class. This class allow implicit construction from
	const char *, std::string, wchar_t * and std::wstring. Provides accessor str() and
	wstr() to retreive the string as either ANSI or UNICODE string.
	- Update Asserter to use String instead of std::string
	- Deprecate Exception::what(), and add String Exception::message().
	- Compatibility break for NotEqualException::expected(), actual() and additionalInfo().
	- Update MfcTestRuner to use wstr() in Unicode build => introduce a utility function
	  toCString( CppUnit::String &) that returns a CString using the appropriate method.
  - [DONE] Wrap test plug-in suite retreival in a TestPlugInSuite.
  - [DONE] CrossPlatform TestPlugInSuite and TestPlugInInterface.
  - [DONE] CrossPlatform test runner for TestPlugIn.
  - Advanced command line support for the plug-in runner 
     (--xml, --compiler...) + plug-in parameter support.

  - STL orthodox template for container elements.

* UnitTest
  - add tests for XmlOutputter::setStyleSheet (current assertion macro strip <?...> when
    testing )
  - add tests for TestRunner, TextUi::TestRunner, CompilerOutputter.
  - add tests for test plug-in

* VC++ TestRunner:
  - Make it possible to specify the registry path where settings are stored.
    Current method use the path defined in the CWinApp. This does not work
    for console application
  - Add "details" field to show detail of the selected failed test:
    - suite and test name,
    - failure message. If possible separate "was" and "expected" in the
      forthcoming assertEquals() to make comparison easier,
    - source file location. 
    
* BugFix: CompilerOutputter::wrap(), bug when wrapping empty line in the middle 
of a text (they disappear).    

* Documentation:
	CookBook:
	- how to create simple test cases (with CppUnit namespace)
	  - test case using only CPPUINT_ASSERT
	  - test case using CPPUNIT_ASSERT_EQUAL
	  - advanced assertions with the CPPUNIT_ASSERT_MESSAGE
	- Helper Macros for convenience
	- Creating a suite
	- Composing a suite from more suites (i.e. compose tests for n modules to
	  form a big test for the whole program)
	- customizing output using an user defined TestListener
	  - how to write the TestListener (subclass of TestListener)
	  - how to hook it in
	- how to use the GUI
	  - MSVC++ special stuff
	- other custmization stuff I haven't understood yet

	CppUnit: architecture overview.
	
	- need to merge cookbook with Phil Verghese's contribution.
