OK, bad wording on my part. I meant to say: "the test module must
provide some facility to compare floating point values with tolerance".
This doesn't mean that the code behind the public interface couldn't be
factored out into a separate module. In fact, I just now realized that
the latest version of Gennadyi's framework already contains very
sophisticated float comparison code. I agree that this should go into a
separate header, so that it can be used elsewhere (sorry for the
confusion).
