I had a nose around the WebKit source a while back, and it looked like  
their integration testing was done basically by pure regression tests  
- save a PNG (or whatever) in a directory, and compare page renderings  
to the last reference copy.  However that will break on different  
platforms with different font renderings, anti-aliasing algorithms etc  
unless you make it fuzzy (maybe blur the output and use a subtract  
calculation).

Maybe you could make it work with the Watir+screenshot code that Aslak  
made ages ago?

Just a thought anyway.
