I dunno, we could do it either way, but there's value in keeping 
related code together. E.g. our tests subclass lots of TestWebKitAPI 
classes, so we'd have code in APITests/ subclassing stuff under 
Tools/TestWebKitAPI/. It's much more tightly-coupled than, say, the 
layout tests are to TestController/WKTR, which communicates with layout 
tests over well-defined interfaces. In contrast, our API tests really 
depend on implementation details of TestWebKitAPI and they often have 
to be changed in tandem.
