Fair enough point, although I don't know if I would consider it that big 
of a deal.

I did so some basic testing with PHPUnit3, started on some of the Solar 
methods.  I ran into some limitations though in doing a SolarEnvironment 
test as I specifically need to be able to test for expected PHP errors.  
I can write my own assertError(), but I already knew that SimpleTest had 
it so I wanted to float the idea.
