I have written some cmake files and integrated QxRunner (the library I'm 
starting from) as a plugin in the kdevelop build process. This can be 
commited as soon as I get write access to the svn.

The first milestone will be to get omniscient on QxRunner by writing a 
test suite. This way I'll have a thorough understanding of the 
possibilities, know exactly were changes should be made and have immediate 
feedback when I break things. I prefer doing this first and then discuss  
design for the first bit (ie the interaction qxrunner-kdevelop). How about 6 
may for this milestone? (still got a paper to hand in on 30 
april, which eaaaats time) By then I want 90% coverage.

Note that I'm not that experienced with cmake, so there's probably some things 
to improve there ;) Notably I didnt find an elegant way to enable exception 
handling. QxRunner doesnt use them but has a single try-catch(...) block to 
catch any exceptions thrown in client tests, with an 'error' test result. 
Right now just the 'CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS' with a removed '-fno-exceptions' is 
used.
