Sorry for my delayed, that gives us a limited time to work.

I've recently uploaded phpunit-mock-object-2.2.1 to experimental. That is the
last dependency. If don't have any problem, I will push updated PHPUnit-4.2.x
tonight (GMT+7) and I hope we have enough time to test.

Thanks for the offer of help, I will need for review after I've updated PHPUnit.
