Selfmock is better than, say, cppmock, but it's still horrible that I 
can't just give it a type and have it do the right thing. That means 
additional effort to create the mock objects, and some effort to 
maintain them -- though if you're following the open/closed principle, 
this should be less problematic. Far better than nothing, but not as 
good as it should be.

Sleeper is vaporware, and would do me no good since I can't even get 
ddbi to work on my machine (64-bit linux; the mysql driver always claims 
the packets I send are too long).
