Hi Seth -

The version that I was working on (before the other folks released a
less eclectic and more functional/general package) had a

     testrunner(test=c("list","of","functions"),testall=FALSE)

API, along with a preliminary tcltk 

     GUIrunner() 

with a similar intended API.  I've been trying to find the initiative
to integrate (overlay) those tools with the current RUnit as an
add-on, but the difference is that I attached tests as S4 object
instantiations.

Stop by if you want to chat a bit about it.

best,
-tony
