Wow, that sounds great.

Yeah, those test commands are a pain.

Do you want to check in what you have now or wait until
it is 100% done? I would go for the "check it in now"
option if I were you. It may not be perfect, but it
is better than the nothing that we have now :)

You may want to get signed up as a sourceforge
developer so that you can check in code. Of
course, you can always post patches if
that would be easier for you. You are working
off the 1.3 tree, right? I just made a bunch
of test related changes that you should be
testing with.
