Sounds to me like it should just be a custom test harness. If the user needs to
dynamically figure out which tests to run, then why not create a custom harness
which will do what they need. This way they can have control over not only which
files to run, but which routines (if they're using Test::Class), etc, etc.
Writing your own harness is trivial now. I'd say writing something to emit a new
protocol is no easier than writing a script that picks the test files/subs to 
run.
