I'm not sure I understand what you mean here. The idea is that the script output tells you "what is currently tested" by looking directly at the existing tests in the branches and the wiki will be a wish list of what tests we still need to add. 

Can you elaborate on your idea for auto generating tests?

Sure - would trunk/testing/framework be the best place? Or I was wondering if we could make it a function in the lib.sh file (it has a lot in common with the run_tests() function) and then it will get platform dependancy for free.
