Introduce setup and teardown hooks for tests

[uniederer]

In order to simplify creation of multiple tests (partially) sharing the same setup procedures, a possibility to hook into the test execution is introduced: Hooks for setting up the test (before the test executes) and tearing down the setup after the test executed.

I've TDDed the changes and thus extended the existing tests. However I didn't spend too much time yet for thinking about refactoring the test code. Still I wanted to float that change over to you as a request for comment, @ennorehling.

I am not in any way the official maintainer of CuTest, I've just created a github repository for my own needs that some people are forking, and that I (infrequently) update with the official releases. If you want your changes to become part of the "official" CuTest, you should probably contact the creator at http://cutest.sourceforge.net/

Thank you for clarifying. As the sourceforge-project appears to be abadoned (it didn't even migrate away from CVS, and last real activities seem to be a decade ago), I was under the impression, that you intended to pick that project up as I found your repository on github. I'll try to contact Asmin.

There is a pretty good chance that it's been abandoned (sourceforge is merely a graveyard for old projects now), in which case I could be guilted into maintaining a fork, so let me know whether you hear back from the maintainer.

I would like to bump this discussion. It would be cool to see some new life being brought into this library.

[uniederer]

Thanks for following up. As announced back in March last year, I tried to contacted Asim, the original author of the library. I didn't get a reply yet. So it's very likely @ennorehling is right: the project appears to be abandoned...

In that case i think it might make sense to take this repo up and making it the unofficial continuation of the project? After all the original library was under an MIT license.
