[Sugar-devel] Unit tests in Sugar HTML

[Daniel Narvaez]

I'm on a phone so I have not yet taken a proper look. Though it looks
pretty cool. It seems to have custom browsers support, so it should be easy
to run it in sugar-html-activity.

We can look at hooking this up in sugar-build/buildbot, it should not be a
lot of work.

I suppose it should work for the libraries too if we just put some HTML in
the test dir.
