Are these different tests than what Alex put together at http:// 
svn.automattic.com/wordpress-tests ?

After tweaking things I was able to finally get those tests to run.   
I put together a simple process that runs an arbitrary commands (in  
this case the unit test code) against each revision of wordpress - 
trunk.  The results could then be compared across each revision,  
making it easy to pin down which revision broke something.

I'm still getting familiar with the unit test code so I haven't put  
this out live anywhere.
