Past week's action items:
- Priyanka: (partial) Dynamic confuguration - cookie + hook - Incorporate Roan's feedback. Check in basic code. Post to wikitech-l

- mglaser: (partial) write specification for setting and cleanup of db/images/math/cache for each test suite.
- Priyanka: Incorporate Michelle's tests and Calcey's tests
- (done) Markus: email SMW selenium tests
- (done) Markus: figure out how to run Selenium tests from Cruisecontrol.

- Markus: check in dan's code on starting/stopping the selenium server
- dnessett: That is waiting for 5.2 support for init.
