Hey - yeah thats it.

I have been using d-unit to write the tests and using erik as the 
tool to operate and drive the browser - in this case the 
phantomjs headless javascript browser.

an example might be:
     @Test
     public void doit(){
       Session session = Session.start(); // start new phantom on 
random port
       session.visitUrl("http://www.google.com"); // visit url
       By search = By.cssSelector("input[name='q']");
       session.waitFor(search, Condition.isClickable()); // wait 
for search box to appear
       WebElement searchBox = session.findElement(search); // 
select search box
       searchBox.sendKeys("d language kingsley");                  
    // type into search box
       writeln(searchBox.getAttribute("value"));           // get 
search box value
     }

There is currently nothing special for vibe.d - however I'm 
planning on doing some better integration there.
I may write a cucumber/behat/jbehave thing that it could hook into
It's currently not directly compatible with selenium - the hooks 
exist but I haven't pushed them forward - but it would not be 
hard to support selenium for driving different browsers.

I'm not 100% in which direction it will go at the moment as only 
the basics are implemented.
