Hi,

Rather than change the interface of my classes to use friend classes (I
feel this unnecessarily clutters the interface), I do something simple
and evil:

#define private public
#define protected public
#	include "MyClass.hpp"
#undef private
#undef protected

Or something along those lines. 

This is permissable in unit tests, I would think.
