I feel that the Wiki should not be a "wish list", we should have a clear list of what should be tested.

I don't feel that this should be included into lib.sh because its meant to hold functions related to running tests on all different platforms. This extraction is not meant to be done on the platforms, its rather don't manually on a developers computer so there is no need to have it in lib.sh.

Straight into trunk/testing is a better place for this.
