That's the attraction for me, too.  It gets at the question of what our
cross-platform strategy is.  Do we try to keep Fit as one coordinated
project that supports multiple languages?  Or as a reference
implementation with lots of uncoordinated ports, a la JUnit?  Or a core
idea with a gazillion completely different approaches, a la Wiki?

Ultimately, it's Ward's call.  I've been approaching it as if we wanted
one coordinated project, because that's what I seem to remember Ward
talking about when we created the C# port.
