[Gardeners] Testing framework for SUL

[Gary Klimowicz]

Well, as a lurker whose vote should count next to nothing, I'm  
particularly fond of lisp-unit.

That said, I will almost certainly switch to whatever testing  
framework you choose. I'd like nothing more than to consolidate  
*that* part of my Standard Utility Library as well.
