Re: 'load' functions in cpp unittest - are they unused?

Hello Caolán,

First, sorry for a late reply.

Thanks for the info. :-)

Anyway, this sd/qa/unit/regression-test.cxx doesn't have 'testDir'
function. This 'testDir', though, is in sd/qa/unit/filters-test.cxx.

So, I browsed through each file in [1] and found that: the files that
have 'load' function will also have 'testDir'. *Except* only two
files:

    sd/qa/unit/regression-test.cxx (line #80)
    sc/qa/unit/subsequent_filters-test.cxx (line #246)

which I think they are unused. Is it ok to remove both of them?
