Moreover, CPPUnit is available on all the standard Linux distributions,
whereas TUT is not. But, as it seems a very good test framework, in line
with Boost-like philosophy, I'd like to try it and, why not, to package if
for Fedora/RedHat :)

standard Linux distributions (Debian-based and RPM-based). So, if I replace
MySQL++ by SOCI (which I do want to do), I have to package SOCI. Of course,
I can keep it in my own repository (not necessarily local), but in case you
agree to include me as a contributor, it may benefit to many other
developers.
I second Maciek's proposal. Python bindings would be awesome!
