+gtest (Google C++ Testing Framework)
+
+Google's framework for writing C++ tests on a variety of platforms
+(Linux, Mac OS X, Windows, Cygwin, Windows CE, and Symbian). Based
+on the xUnit architecture. Supports automatic test discovery, a rich
+set of assertions, user-defined assertions, death tests, fatal and
+non-fatal failures, value- and type-parameterized tests, various
+options for running the tests, and XML test report generation.

+IMPORTANT NOTE:
+
+This build script builds a legacy version. A section on the FAQ pages
+from the home site warns about the use of "make install" which is now
+deprecated on the latest version. However, you can still continue to do
+this if you know what you are doing. You can read more about this here:
