Because if you look at the source code itself, it's 120 Kb (the other files are mostly autotools one, around 460 Kb) and if you look at the library, the static one is about 38Kb. Not a lot. Also, these days, package managers can install it easily. What's the problem with using an external tool for unit testing ? If you use your own unit testing framework, you duplicate code (hence more work, possible bugs in your unit testing code). Btw, as we are speaking of unit testing, what we are doing with our unit testing is code coverage: use of gcov and lcov to have html output of the coverage of the unit tests. If you are interested, i have written m4 macro to integrate sich process quite easily in configure.ac (Makefile.am stuff is also very easy). regards Vincent Torri
