[webkit-dev] layout tests

[David Carson]

Reem,
I forgot to add that there is some documentation here:
http://trac.webkit.org/projects/webkit/wiki/Writing%20Layout%20Tests%20for%20DumpRenderTree
this does not explain DumpRenderTree, but does explain some of the
Javascript interfaces I refereed to below.

Cheers
Davidc
