Running more than one instances of run-webkit-tests on the same machine is not
possible due to more reasons.
The main issues are related to httpd port number, but there are also tests
which use a hardcoded symlink of the LayoutTests directory in /tmp to load
local pages, which is absolutely not a multi-platform friendly thing to do.

So the main issues are: 
- Hardcoded port numbers (run-webkit-tests --port does not work correctly)
Testcases (html, javascript and expected files) involved:
Hardcoded 8000 (http):
   total files involved: ~600
Hardcoded 8443 (https):
   total files involved: ~34
Hardcoded 8880 (websocket):
   total files involved: ~30

(The above sets may not be disjunct.)

- Symlinked and hardcoded LayoutTests dir to /tmp/LayoutTests may cause
problems on this tests if testing multiple revisions:
LayoutTests/fast/dom/frame-loading-via-document-write.html
LayoutTests/fast/loader/local-CSS-from-local.html
LayoutTests/fast/loader/local-JavaScript-from-local.html
LayoutTests/fast/loader/local-iFrame-source-from-local.html
LayoutTests/fast/loader/local-image-from-local.html
LayoutTests/fast/loader/user-style-sheet-resource-load-callbacks.html
LayoutTests/http/tests/misc/image-blocked-src-change.html

LayoutTests/http/tests/security/local-iFrame-from-remote.html
LayoutTests/http/tests/security/local-image-from-remote.html
LayoutTests/http/tests/security/local-user-CSS-from-remote.html
LayoutTests/http/tests/security/local-video-poster-from-remote.html
LayoutTests/http/tests/security/local-video-source-from-remote.html
LayoutTests/http/tests/security/local-video-src-from-remote.html

- Hardcoded pidfile path of the httpd daemon (not platform independent)

There are more possible ways of fixing these issues, so it would be nice to get
some input and ideas on how to fix these.
