I've been tinkering with the C++ Port of FIT.  It allows users to load
DLLs containing fixtures.  Unfortunately, the static members of
Fixture (rights, wrongs, etc) aren't updated across DLL boundaries.  I
was thinking of making them instance variables and having doTables add
the counts of the run tables to its own count.

Anyone have an issue with that?  Does another port have this issue?

IMHO, static mutable variables'll be the first ones against the wall
when the revolution comes, but I'll admit to bias.
