You could use WebDriver [1] instead of Selenium... The two projects are
merging anyway, and migration hassle can be kept to a minimum by using
WebDriverBackedSelenium [2]. The big bonus of WebDriver (in this situation)
is that you can switch back and forth between the pure-Java HtmlUnitDriver
and the FirefoxDriver. It would be pretty easy to externalize the specific
driver to use to a system property that can be specified on the command
line, with a useful default. Obviously there are some cons to using a
browser emulator rather than a real browser, but sometimes the pros outweigh
the cons.

Take care,

Daniel
