Hi folks,

As I am doing quite some radicals changes on the next version of 
browseunit,
and as I know some people are using it, I'd like to have their feedback 
on this
prototype for the next version.

For this version I wanted BrowseUnit to be more package-focused than
class-focused. So now you can for example run your tests for an entire 
package,
and run slint for an entire package too (except of course that the RB 
seems to be broken
in 3.7 ...).

Also the scheme for searching links between tests and tested methods is
now different, relying not on the name of the methods, but rather on the
messages sent by it. This is so more robust and fits better in the 
package-orientation
I want to give.

The downside of this is that now the tests are harder to generate, so I 
mainly would like
to know if the added functionality counterbalances this. The preferred 
way to write your
code is now "test-first", so XP folks will be happy (especially since 
the
debugger-stub method creation is now in 3.7).

I've added a little howto at the start of the app to help you see the 
differences.
Please note that I have joined two files :

- Ned's recent SeparateClassCommentPane as I rely on it, having heavily
"rape'n'pasted" some of it's code ;-). So file it in first in a recent 
Squeak 3.7 image.

- And of course my own code for you to test it ;-).

Both files are gzipped changesets.

Thanks in advance for your feedback, as I'd like to know if I should
continue to work on this release.

	Romain
