It looks really good (wish I could write so readably).
Part of may says it should cover more features, but that's probably wrong (it's 
a small taste to encourage people, so I guess it needs to be short).

However, the moving to production section does seem a bit less concrete/clear 
than the rest, with how to do it being glossed over a bit rather than given 
concrete examples as you have done everywhere else.
Perhaps it would be worth giving the example makefile to link with the 
production library and include the production headers?

Possibly a (precursor?) stage could be included for cases where the production 
code is not in a library: I recently worked with a hack of using #include to 
import the production code directly into a test file.

Anyway, it all looks very clear and logically ordered, and it's nice to see 
someone else using the test framewokr outside of gnustep itsself.
Thanks.
