I agree with you on this; I'm a newbie running unit tests but
Solar_Test do its job very well. As I said I'd prefer to use an
external package to free Paul from maintaning Solar_Test. For all of
us this would also mean more focus on "the core", I think.

I observe that PhpUnit (2-3) has, perhaps, a wider adoption in
libraries and applications. From a newbie perspective, I would choose
it for this reason.
