The current code has the virtue that (nearly all of) the command line options are declared in one place (in run_webkit_tests.py). 

I've come to believe that this is actually easier for people to modify and maintain than it would be if we scattered all of the options among multiple modules. Of course, the downsides are the layering issues and the ability to set port-specific defaults.

I guess what I'm saying is that it's not obvious to me what the "better" way would be. I'm clearing ownership and marking this as WONTFIX for now. Someone can reopen and start working on it if they have any better ideas than I do.
