If the unit test egg authors don't have the man hours to add what you're 
looking for, why don't you extend one of their eggs, instead of starting 
from scratch?  Are they dead projects?  Have you already determined that 
their code is not easy to understand, use, or modify?  Do they have 
unacceptable licenses?  If so, maybe they'll change them.  I don't think 
the rest of us want a 4th method of unit testing when the other 3 aren't 
getting traction as it is.  I mean, why would we end up using your 
stuff, instead of it just lying fallow like the others?  It seems like 
what's needed is for the unit testing people to put their heads together 
and take things to the next stage.  Or else do some housecleaning on 
who's willing to maintain and extend their code and who isn't.
