You mean the old classes:
Tools.php
Values.php

I would rather leave them in CVS, but don't include them in the release 
distro.
The two config classes are not really awesome, but might of value for 
the config converters and dumpers.

The java tests are of value to test the current browser configuration, 
not only some limited core cases as your unittests.
Login, search, various database backends, ...

But I really would like to switch from this simple java testsuite to 
some better perl testing framework sooner or later.

We'd only need the testplan's. They are very similar to the current java 
testplans. Just simplier to run, configure amnd maintain.
