I'm pretty sure this is AUnit 2 (which I never used, simply because it
seemed so much less easy to use than AUnit 1).

AUnit 3 seems to give the best of both worlds & I'd recommend it, if
only because my old test code built with only minor changes! (looks as
though I got it from the AdaCore subversion server -
http://svn.eu.adacore.com/anonsvn/US/trunk/AUnit).

It will be more complex with AdaGIDE than with GPRs. That said, the
code is findable via the AUnit GPRs with a bit of detection.

I'm a bit surprised at the locations of the various aunit.ads fines,
though. Might be worth reading doinstall.bat to see what it does.
