I didn't try SqueakCheck out in Pharo, but it should Just Work. I'm
more than happy to get bug reports. (One thing I forgot to do, and
will do shortly, is kill the TheoryTestRunner. It was intended to be a
console test runner, but when I found out how easy it was to integrate
with/extend SUnit, I never bothered developing it further.)

I worked a bit on SSpec. I gave up: there were a number of references
to classes that don't exist in SSpec, and once I'd cleared those away
I boggled one too many times at some of the things it does (like
raising an exception whose sole purpose is to set a flag, to show that
you do actually have specs for some suite). I never did get a green
bar.

Niko Schwarz's PhExamples [1] stuff looks very interesting, and is on
my todo list to check out.
