done, thanks Michael

> AA:     + import existing cppunit repo into it (Markus (with Kendy))

With a lot of help by kendy done. Repository is now at
http://cgit.freedesktop.org/libreoffice/cppunit. I also tagged several
of the last releases so that you get them easily if needed.

I added some of our own patches and will now have a look how to
integrate the needed functions. Talk to me if you think that we are
missing a cppunit feature for testing Libreoffice. The point I want to
implement for our internal tests is a setUp/tearDown method per
Fixture/Suite/TestClass ( extremelly important for all tests based on
BootstrapFixture[Base])
