I haven't tried unit++.  I've been using CppUnit. 
Since C++ doesn't have reflection, it won't be able to
do what JUnit does (ie automagically extrapolate the
list of test cases).  Although I haven't tried it, I
think a script may be written to perform this magic to
produce something consumable by CppUnit.  Has anyone
seen anything like this?

All in all, though, it's not that much of a pain to
maintain the list of test cases.
