             nThis:


run-webkit-tests needs some serious re-factoring.  I looked briefly at solving
bug 10906 this evening, but quickly gave up.  run-webkit-tests may need to move
away from Perl entirely, as perl's lack of real class support is a serious
limitation, causing overly awkward code.

My suggestion would be that a pair of people work together to commit small
incremental improvements (mostly breaking everything out into subroutines) in
rapid succession, with a review on each improvement.
