Forgot this question in my previous posting:

Is it possible to create static libraries containing self-registering tests, 
and still have the tests executed when the library is linked to form an 
executable / a test runner?

For CppUnit, this wasn't possible - at least not portably - as the linker 
discarded the global registrar objects (as they weren't "used") that were 
responsible for registering the test suites.
