I caught up with Alex to discuss this on IRC, we didn't come to much in
the way of agreement. One thing we did agree on was:

14:56 < lifeless> I was trying to say that 'removing cppunit's source
      from the squid codebase' != changing squid to have make check not
      error when cppunit is not available.
14:57 * alexx agrees that removing and changing "make check" are
      different steps/issues.

So I'd like to ask that the change made to remove cppunit's source from
the code base *NOT* change the current behaviour that 'make check'
*depends* on libcppunit being available.

That will let the current bug be closed and is apparently
non-contentious.
