Leandro Lucarella has written similar solution for our internal 
testing purposes. It provides a test runner that is configured by 
CLI arguments and allows filtering of modules and non-fatal test 
failures. It is for D1/tango but I am pretty sure it can be 
ported to D2 runtime with close to 0 changes. I have not managed 
to convince him it is worth making public though :(
