Hm. This is a problematic feature in the face of parallelism.

How would this be supposed to work with multiple DRTs running at the same time? Does the persistent user style sheet affect any DRT running on the machine, or is it only in memory? I.e., how do I keep this from affecting DRTs running tests in other directories?

I'm actually working on a slightly different approach to this sort of thing where NRWT will change the command line flags passed to the process on a per-directory configurable basis (as part of getting rid of the chromium GPU configuration).

Could we maybe do something like that instead where every test would be told to do something different before/after/during the test but it was in-memory?

Failing that, given that this seems to only be used on the Windows port at the moment, I suggest we hack this into the windows Driver.run_test() to detect when it's entering and leaving directories with these files, and fix the windows # of workers at 1 until we can figure out a better way to get this sort of functionality.

WDYT?
