I suggest you seriously look at the tcltest facility, used by the Tcl/Tk test suite. \
There are lots of links from the Tclers Wiki Tcltest page at \
http://wiki.tcl.tk/tcltest
It can be run by a stand-alone Tcl interpreter (single file - tclkit), is mature and \
extremely capable, with lots of examples.
Given that many in the fossil community are capable Tclers, I'd also anticipate a lot \
of support is available.
I'm all for reinventing square wheels, but on this occassion I suggest that it would \
be better to use something proven, capable, well supported and evolving :)
