Mark,
We're getting a lot of different switches and options on the test runner. I
wonder if we should do something like maven does with different options.
Maven uses the java convention of -Dname=value to define different switches,
then the defined variables are made available within the build system. We
could use a similar convention and construct a directory that's stored in
the environment to hold all of the different options. Then different sorts
of tests can just do
.if testopts~quickTests == "true" then ....
This allows any test group to define private option switches (or even test
the value of option switches at any time).
