 \section _history History
 The first port of JUnit to C++ was done
 by Michael Feathers. His versions
 can be found on the 
 <a href="http://www.xprogramming.com/software.htm">
 XProgramming software page</a>. They are os-specific,
 so Jerome Lacoste provided a port to Unix/Solaris.
 His version can be found on the same page.
 The %CppUnit project has combined and built on this work.

 \section _usage Usage
 Take a look into the \ref cppunit_cookbook.
 It gives a quick start into using this 
 testing framework. <a href="modules.html">Modules</a> give
 you a organized view of %CppUnit classes.

 (Notes to newbies, you may want to check out \ref money_example,
 a work in progress, but the project is provided with %CppUnit).

 For a discussion on %CppUnit, check 
 <a href="http://c2.com/cgi/wiki?CppUnit">
 the WikiWiki Pages on CppUnit</a>. There you can also
 find the original versions and various ports to other
 OSses and languages.

/*! \defgroup WritingTestPlugIn Writing Test Plug-in
 *
 * Creating a test plug-in is really simple:
 * - make your project a dynamic library (with VC++, choose Win32 Dynamic Library in
 *   the project wizard), and link against the dynamic library version of %CppUnit
 *   (cppunit*_dll.lib for VC++).
 * - in a cpp file, include TestPlugIn.h, and use the macro CPPUNIT_PLUGIN_IMPLEMENT()
 *   to declare the test plug-in.
 * - That's it, you're done! All the tests registered using the TestFactoryRegistry,
 *   CPPUNIT_TEST_SUITE_NAMED_REGISTRATION, or CPPUNIT_TEST_SUITE_REGISTRATION will
 *   be visible to other plug-in and to the DllPlugInRunner.
 *
 * Example:
 * \code
 * #include <cppunit/include/plugin/TestPlugIn.h>
 *
 * CPPUNIT_PLUGIN_IMPLEMENT();
 * \endcode
 *
 * The interface CppUnitTestPlugIn is automatically implemented by the previous
 * macro. You can define your own implementation.
 *
 * To provide your custom implementation of the plug-in interface, you must:
 * - create a class that implements the CppUnitTestPlugIn interface
 * - use CPPUNIT_PLUGIN_EXPORTED_FUNCTION_IMPL() with your class to export
 *   the plug-in interface
 * - implements the 'main' function with CPPUNIT_PLUGIN_IMPLEMENT_MAIN().
 *
 * Some of the reason you may want to do this:
 * - You do not use the TestFactoryRegistry to register your test.
 * - You want to create a custom listener to use with DllPlugInRunner.
 * - You want to do initialize some globale resources before running the test
 *   (setting up COM for example).
 *   
 * See CppUnitTestPlugIn for further detail on how to do this.
 *
 * Creating your own test plug-in with VC++:
 * - Create a new "Win32 Dynamic Library" project, choose the empty template
 * - For the Debug Configuration, add cppunitd_dll.lib to 
 *   'Project Settings/Link/Object/Libariries modules', and for the Release
 *   Configuration, add cppunit_dll.lib.
 * - For All Configuration, in 'C++/Preprocessor/Preprocessors definitions',
 *   add the symbol 'CPPUNIT_DLL' at the end of the line (it means that
 *   you are linking against cppunit dll).
 * - Create a 'main' file that contains:
\verbatim
#include <cppunit/plugin/TestPlugIn.h>

CPPUNIT_PLUGIN_IMPLEMENT();\endverbatim
 * - Add your tests
 * - You're done !
 *
 * See examples/simple/simple_plugin.dsp for an example.
 *
 * Notes to VC++ users: 
 * - you can run a post-build check on the plug-in. Add the following line to your
 *   post-build tab: "DllPlugInTesterd_dll.exe $(TargetPath)". DllPlugInTesterd_dll.exe
 *   need to be some place were it can be found (path, ...), or you need to
 *   indicate the correct path. 
 *   $(TargetPath) is the filename of your plug-in.
 * - you can debug your DLL, set the executable for debug session to the plug-in 
 *   runner, and the name of the DLL in the program arguments ($(xxx) won't work
 *   this time).
 *
 * How does it works ?
 *
 * When %CppUnit is linked as a DLL, the singleton used for the TestFactoryRegistry
 * is the same for the plug-in runner (also linked against %CppUnit DLL). This means
 * that the tests registered with the macros (at static initialization) are 
 * registered in the same registry. As soon as a DLL is loaded by the PlugInManager,
 * the DLL static variable are constructed and the test registered to the 
 * TestFactoryRegistry.
 *
 * After loading the DLL, the PlugInManager look-up a specific function exported by
 * the DLL. That function returns a pointer on the plug-in interface, which is later
 * used by the PlugInManager.
 *
 * \see CreatingTestSuite.
