UPDATE:
                Dane Summers has a fork witch probably is more up to date: vimunit fork: https://github.com/dsummersl/vimunit

  PURPOSE:
To provide vim scripts with a simple unit testing framework and tools.
The framework and tools should resemble JUnit's interface definitions
to ease usage of both frameworks (and others based on JUnit).
Obviously vim scripts are not java so I will only try to implement the
stuff useful to vim scripts. As a first milestone I think the
junit.Assert and junit.TestResult classes to get a vim-script
unit-testing environment going.

  WHY:
Well, I have been working on some vim-scripts and read a lot of them
the last two weeks and I really, really miss my unit-test (and
mock-object, but that is fare fetched I think..:O) tools to get my own
stuff of the ground (and making modifications to your's).

  THOUGHTS:
Writing unit-test code against a UI environment is often very difficult
or demanding to creative solutions to be productive. We would like to
have a mock-object framework to go with the unit-testing framework.

  INSTALLATION:
   Place this file in your plugin directory (~/.vim/ftplugin/)
   When you start vim again and open a vim file for editing you should
   get a message that vimUnit has installed its documentation.
   To get you started you could try :h vimUnit or :h VUAutoRun
  
  TIPS:
   Documentation (when written..:o) is found at the bottom of this file.
   Thanks to code from vimspell.vim it should be self-installing the first
   time this module is loaded

   If your new to test-first principles and thinking you should start
   with the article:
   http://junit.sourceforge.net/doc/testinfected/testing.htm
   And then surf the web on these locations:
   http://www.junit.org/
   http://xprogramming.com/
   http://www.extremeprogramming.org/

  NOTE:
8 Nov 2004 (v 0.1) This is my initial upload. The module is fare
from finished. But as I could do with some input from other vim users
So I have chosen to let people know I'm working on it.

To be conform with vim-script naming conventions functions are
prepended with VU (VimUnit). So stuff you would normaly would call
VUAssert are called VUAssert, TestRunner* are called VURunner and so on.
Global variables starts with vimUnit*
