Thanks for the suggestions.

I noticed a couple of things today. Python comes with a script called
'unittestgui'. But more interesting Ruby appearently comes with a
script 'testrb' that runs unit tests. I was hiding on my system because
it was named 'testrb1.8' and not linked (DEBIAN MAINTAINERS YOU MIGHT
WANT TO FIX THIS!) So ideally it would be nice if my comment runner
code could just be added to this script. Who maintains the test/unit
code these days?

Thanks,
T.
