I searched on GitHub, and the only uses of extension:cxxtest I could
find at a glance were from the same project as the ones probably found
by Glen Morris in 2010 -- opencog.

I therefore agree that this is better handled as user or project
customization.

Would anyone object against closing this bug report as wontfix?
