I made a half hearted effort to centralise the paths at least, but never
got as far as adding the switch. This would be really useful and it
would be great if you could add it :).

Even better if it could default to simpletest.org/acceptance/VERSION
where "VERSION" is the version file contents in the tarball. A procedure
for adding acceptance tests that all developers could use would clear a
few roadblocks. Talk to Perrick as I think he already had some ideas.
