[Wtr-general] Automating the running & reporting of watir tests

[Charley Baker]

Yes, no, maybe. :) Simple answer. I'm using Watir tests, and running them
through Cruise Control, so that they're continuous integration tests,
reports generated through http://test-report.rubyforge.org/. xml reports,
cruise picks them up since they're xunit style and publishes them out.
Cruise emails the reports out.

Where to locate it in svn is a good question. We currently have our FAT in
it's own location. We also have a ruby install in svn, for better or worse,
which is able to be run in ci and on any workstation, and able to easily
update for shared libraries.
