I added an additional file naming method and made it default:
//3=groupfolders: /tests, /recordings/*.fwplay, /fixtures/1_wrl_17.bmp /playbacks/1_wrl_17.bmp
        namingMethod = 3; 
With this method, to send the tests to someone on a different system you'd zip the /recordings folder and send just that (assuming they have all the test/*.wrl). To clean out a previous testAll run you'd remove the /playback folder.

I changed to integer mouse coordinates, intercepted earlier so they apply to statusbarHud as well as navigation, clicking and picking.

To do this I changed the linux mouse/keyboard handling code and did not verify it on a linux system ** please verify**
