On a similar vein - I am currently writing/toying with writing TT in 
(Server-side) javascript for zimki - and I also plan to use the same set 
of tests. The problem lies in the different config options that some 
tests (can?) have, and how to get this. I suspect things might be easier 
if the config and tests were moved into some easier format to parse.

Oh and on the subject of tests, how about using Test::More or something 
similar? Pleeease?
