[OpenLayers-Dev] manual acceptance tests

[Erik Uzureau]

This sounds like a brilliant idea to me and I am heavily in favour.

It seems like just adding one directory might be a little short though
maybe we could do something like:

openlayers/trunk/tests/acceptance
and
openlayers/trunk/tests/unit (for the current file-by-file tests?)

Also, I think its probably a good time to start looking into a
post-commit hook (only on trunk, of course) that runs the unit tests.
I don't personally have the first clue as to how to do that but
someone out there must? I think it would be a helpful addition to our
process and (realistically) wouldn't hinder the dev process hardly at
all.
