Wonka also uses Mauve.  One of the reasons to choose Mauve during the early 
stages of development was the extreme simplicity of its "framework" - we 
could run it when all we had was an interpreter, a few dozen classes and a 
very simple class loader.  The other reason was of course the thousands of 
tests already written. :)

Mauve is very much a hacker's framework - you can do anything with it, all 
you have to do is write the code.  Other frameworks are more sophisticated 
(and complex), so you end up posting "how do I make FooFramework do X?" 
questions instead. 

Good luck
