ErlUnit : A Unit testing framework for Erlang

When fiddling with Erlang, I found EUnit, a unit testing framework for Erlang. I tried it out, it did not work out of the box for me. I won't go in to the details of what went wrong. I was too lazy to fix the issues. So I started writing one myself. With contributions from Varsha(my wife) and Rajesh (of LJ), I churned out a simple unit testing framework along the lines of JUnit and called it ErlUnit.
The purpose of writing the framework was to learn Erlang and to demonstrate how easy it becomes to build abstractions in Erlang (or any functional language, for that matter, I suppose) and not to reinvent the wheel.
