	Okay, so am I totally high here, or is "cunit" an undesirable
project name?

Hi Nick

Thank you for your thoughts, I'm well aware of the name problem.. On one
hand I wouldn't like users of cunit feel that they had to sprikle their
code with profanities and on the other hand 'cunit' is by tradition *the*
name for a C unit testing framework.

Do you think this is a big enough issue for the english speaking users to
motivate a name change? I might have difficulties to grasp exactly how eye
catching the name is to native english speaking persons, you can help me 
with this.
