This *could* work, but imho it really prevents the quick turn around you
need when debugging unit tests. I personally would prefer the test
runner to by default run all tests and given a bunch of --run_test=test1
--run_test=test2 command line arguments, it runs only those tests.

If you could tell me what to read or change to get the framework to do
this, I'd be happy.
