I don't have CppUnit, and can't make time to look into it right now.
I was hoping there might be a simple, self-contained feature test for
variadic macros, just so we could verify that they work before we
undertake GUI testing that will require them. If you can't easily
test that either, then I think we can rely on the gcc-3.4.x
documentation, which has a whole page about them:
