Supporting parallelism inside run-webkit-tests, and also being able to run
several instances of the script sounds like overkill. Did you consider running
multiple buildbots in virtual machines?

In any case, making http and websocket tests port-agnostic is not practical.
Most of them are not, and those that are got significantly more complicated
because of that. Putting the burden of writing port-agnostic tests on
developers is a cost we'd have to keep paying in the future, and thus
undesirable.

I was actually planning to remove the half-baked ability to configure port
numbers in run-webkit-tests.

There are more difficulties with running multiple instances of the script than
mentioned in this bug - please see bug 10906 for discussion.
