Good points! OK, I'll move the Schecoon stuff in the main trunk, and I'll bear all the consequences of this act ;) I'll try to do it over this week-end if the Schecoon code builds and runs fine with the latest HEAD.
I'll also add the Anteater-based test suite code I have for it. Hopefully people will start using it to test more Cocoon stuff with it. I'm still working on Anteater documentation, and some more features added to it.
