unit.pl supports TAP - test anything protocol.
TAP does not specify what language or framework is used for writing unit
tests.
Googletest is a set of classes to write unit tests in C++.
If the resulting binary can produce TAP compatible output (and Tor has
solved that, now it can) then make test-unit will automatically pick up
all googletest unit tests.
I'm not going to argue that googletest is better that libmytap, but I
can believe that it is.
So, it'll still be two "test suites" - mysql-test/ (using mysql-test-run
driver) and unittest/ (using unit.pl driver and TAP protocol).

Sergei
