You can't rush good cooking, you can't rush babies out, and you can't
rush software development. :)

But help would be very much appreciated. I will setup a git repo once I
have initial code ready then we can start testing it/hacking together.
I do not think that there is work for more than one person until at
least the basic interface is defined.

The current desing for the tool is:

Frontend
 - Parses configuration, schedulles tests to be executed by core

Core
 - Runs tests
 - Watches for timeouts
 - Kills childrens that outlive parent (main test executable)
 - Collects test output and results

Backend
 - Produces logs
 - Handles user input

I'm not yet sure whether user input should be handled by core or
backend, but generally splitting the tool into more logical parts would
allow us to use different formats of "runtest" files and all that would
be needed for that is to hook different input parser. The very same goes
for the backend and logs.
