I have to agree, on the documentation side.
miniunit is said to be a 'drop-in' replacement for Test::Unit.
Having a short description of how exactly to do the replacement
would be extremely helpful just for testing out whether it indeed
works. We have to consider that Test::Unit, whatever its problems
may be, is documented well in various books. If we replace it,
we have to think about the documentation side, too.

Regards,    Martin.
