I take back what I said about Check being GPL, it is LGPL now. That means that our tests wouldn't be infected by the GPL license.
Are there any thoughts on either of these? I have already submitted my first set of patches to CuTest, so it will compile with gcc as soon as they are accepted. I'll have the test suite working soon. Unfortunately, Windows seems to be absolutely borked with regard to _vsnprintf, so supposedly portable C code, isn't. Thanks go to JimJag for helping track down the exact problem.
