Comment #8 on issue 402 by pekka.klarck: Possibility to set test timeout
from the command line
http://code.google.com/p/robotframework/issues/detail?id=402
We decided not to implement new setting. Instead we'll re-allow using `Test
Timeout` setting in suite init files (issue 775). Because timeouts can be
set with variables, you can then set timeouts like `--variable
MYTIMEOUT:1minute`.
Having timeouts in init files also makes it possible to have different
timeouts in different suites and all of them can be configured from the cli
with variables. The proposed option would set the timeout for all tests.
