Ahh, I see.

I wasn't thinking about writing a unit test framework (there are
plenty of those, I don't know how adding another one would be
beneficial). I was just thinking about making it easy to unit test
hunchentoot apps. It looks like you've already given all the
information on how to do that, it's just a matter of making it part of
hunchentoot (assuming it makes sense).

I'll make it Open Source when I'm ready (probably in a few months). My
code is currently in a hectic state so I don't want to publish it at
the moment. I'd love to discuss any and all web-related issues,
though.
