I'd be interested as well. I wrote a custom test runner as well, though not addressing the same issues; mine is specifically for non automated testing. It's a Java GUI that lets you choose from all our existing tests, tinker with parameters, and run the test live in your own browser against our test server with a few extras (like stepping through the test, go/pause, run all tests in sequence, etc.). It's partly to let our CEO really interact with our testing -- i.e, see what's being tested, and rapidly explore the site as a whole -- but also is pretty useful as a robot; i.e., when I want to register three new users to try something out, I don't have to do it manually.
