Just FYI there is now a unit testing framework in Avalon src

well actually there is also a logging framework in Avalon at
this time. Instead of adding log listeners you can do the
equivelent by setting the default LogTarget. The LogTarget
gets handed log messages - one of the fields holds the log
level and thus you could work it via that.

well currently the logger implementation in Avalon allows
filtering but can only write to files. This is because my
other implementations (Mail, IRC channel, stdout) are owned
by companies - as soon as I remember to get them to OK an OS
release I will add them :P

UnitTesting is a godsend :P and loggin is also a champ - I
wish more OS projects encouraged it :P
