It would if the ATF API was in C :-(.  I was easily able to knock
this out.  I did look at the ATF stuff but the lack of API
documentation, harry C++ macroness and no C API kept me away.  I
felt some test is better than no test.

Maybe.  It would have certainly have helped.  But IMHO w/o a C API
it is less useful.  I also get the feeling that ATF may have an
incomplete API.
