Currently the unit-tests (YUI) and the functional and end-to-end tests (Selenium) are run manually
be developers. It would be better to be able to run the tests from Ant, which would make it more
useful for developers doing TDD, and also allows the tests to be run in CI scenarios.

(Note that we do have some level of automation already, from the Buildbot work. However, the
command-line technique used doesn't return the number of tests passed, so it's not ideal for TDD
use by developers.)
