Thanks Simon for committing the patch!

Maybe this page should be changed as well as described, not sure how I 
could provide a patch easily though other than finding the page in svn 
and editing by hand.

Well, this works only for a few tests but more than accident than by 
design, so maybe this should only be added for the HTMLUnit tests.
Whereas I think having unit tests that do not depend so much on external 
(esp. file-based) configuration is a worthy goal, this is probably a 
longer-term one.

Don't know much about the Canoo tests ATM, only that they are indeed 
distinct from HTMLUnit tests.
