Description
Some parts of the process which need to be automated:
- Setup users/permissions (tentatively done – but needs full test run)
- Start/stop Xvfb and SeleniumRC
- Allow concurrent tests (e.g. multiple Xvbf+SeleniumRC combos)

This is currently working. However, it's pretty slow – and should be revised to support parallel test execution.
This appears to be running under the new Jenkins. No major issues right now.
Parallel test execution can be dealt with as another issue at some other time.
The attached patches, SeleniumCxnMgmt.patch and tools-phpunit-launchselenium.patch, were written with the goal of providing a script to manage launching Selenium/xvfb (either for Jenkins or for plain CLI usage). However, launching & relaunching SeleniumRC proved unstable/inconsistent, so I've changed approaches. The patches aren't needed – but they could become useful at some point.
