frankly there are plenty of things that should be improved but for SUnit.
First we should look at the main branch in VW because it changes since
we forked it
Second Smalltalk/X people probably enhance it too.
Fourth there is also assess the frameworks of andres that has really
nice extensions for
benchmarking.
And I vote against changing SUnit.
If each time somebody ask a question in the mailing-lit we get a change we will
never focus on
the important items.
