Hi John,
I've started implementing this (on a separate branch).
But in the original I have failing tests. In particular the whole
liveserver stuff doesn't work for me. Some tests are skipped (or xfail)
but all the others fail.

Tests are still running as of this writing, more info will follow.
A first hunch is that one of the early failing tests (the first one
probably) leaves something behind that makes the other tests fail.

Have you seen something like this? The liveserver tests are new to me...

Thanks
Ralf
