I expect that we would implement this by running multiple instances of DRT. 
Instead of say multiple threads in one DRT.  I assume we're all on the same
page about that part. :)

One running Apache should be enough to serve for all of these DRT instances,
no?

Icon DB, Cookies, Cache, etc. need to find some way to not be shared, yes.

The changing the display profile should ideally be broken out into a separate
tool, which knows how to set and reset the display profile.  run-webkit-tests
could then launch that tool.  (Or just launch DRT with a specific set/reset
arg).

This was probably all said over IRC... but I've said it here just in case my
comments are helpful. :)
