Uri,

Thanks for the feedback, Lucas and I had a brief discussion about this
last week so I just wanted to repost what I already had just as a
starting point for a discussion on this topic, I know my patches are rough.

Our thinking is that it would be nice to be able to drop new tests in to
a kvm_test dir, modify the config file, and not have to "update" the
kvm_auottest or autotest binarys.

However I would also like to hear others opinions on this...
