Hi Achim,

Yeah. I guess this isn't going to be useful to me yet. Great to know it's in 
the pipeline though.

For now I'm thinking that wrapping the eclipse.test framework with a 
buckminster action is best way forward, unless anyone has a better idea.

So I'm curious: Are any tests executed during the build for buckminster 
itself?

Thanks,
Tas
