A fixture for Boolean-valued business logic

I've implemented the fixture described earlier. It takes a table in a particular format, generates a new ColumnFixture table, and causes that table to be executed. You can see the Fit output a programmer works with here.

The source and jar file are at http://www.exampler.com/testing-com/tools/fitlibrary-extensions-0.1.zip. The README.txt file will tell you about examples.

I believe it works correctly, and I put it to the test at a client's on Monday. Nevertheless, it is an early version: I made no attempt to handle malformed input gracefully. I haven't made it work with DoFixture yet. I need to clean up the source directory structure. (JUnit tests are intermingled with source files.) I realize that the fixture knows almost enough to generate much of the ColumnFixture code for you, so I'm going to add that.

The version in the zip file was compiled under Java 1.4, though it is likely to compile under earlier versions.
