It certainly does, thanks! So I nastily hard-coded those values into my 
copy of unit_test_main.cpp, and now I get:

Test case "" passed with:
0 assertions out of 0 passed
0 assertions out of 0 failed

This is consistent with what I see when I step through the program with 
the debugger: there's a loop through the test case, and the body of that 
loop is never executed. From looking at the pre-processed source code of 
the test case, it would appear that the framework relies on a 
constructor of a class for side-effects, specifically to add the test 
case to the unit. My guess is that this constructor is never getting 
called for some reason. Any further insights are most welcome. Thanks 
again!
