Best Served Cold - CFMX 7

After taking a look at the cfcUnit code with CFMX 7, I have discovered some things that have changed from CFMX 6.1 to 7.

I suppose this will be a good time to also go ahead and make it offically a 1.0 release (which it really has been for almost a year).

Anyhow, there are solutions out there for use in Application.cfm files, but there aren't any for Application.cfc files. Well, I think I have a solution that works using the onError() method in Application.cfc. I'd be curious to see if this works for anyone else. Let me know.

Well here it is:
