The issue with junit4 is that the suite definition is in an annotation and
therefore has to be defined at compile time, so there is no mechanism to
define tests at runtime.

manifest based code I did attempted to provide a mechanism to create the
tests are runtime.  Perhaps there is a common point here such that we can
build an annotation suite that will allow identification of a test suite
using annotations but delay the creation of the tests until runtime so that
further configuration can be applied.

Thoughts?
