I am prepared to build a seperate machine specifically for this purpose.
It'll be a 64 bit instance, which I am assuming should have no problem
compiling for 32 bit systems? I have heard of the mock project, but I
have not looked into it for a while. I guess that will be my first port
of call.

Thanks John, Unit Test Framework - Hmmm, I like the way your thinking,
then I suppose I could use it for more than just one source code
project. I think this is getting just a touch off topic, but should
still be relevant to the sysadmins in the house? hehe
