The concept is that you write a script test and the wrapper is automatically 
generated. The advantage is that you don’t have to write the wrapper yourself.

The long term plan was that we might come up with a completely different way of 
making wrappers. For many JavaScript-only tests, we might come up with a way to 
run the script tests directly without involving WebCore at all. Even for the 
other tests we might stop checking in wrappers.

The wrappers have the benefit that they let you easily run the test in any web 
browser. For run-webkit-tests, though, they probably aren’t needed.
