Er.. Don't feel bad about your English, ok? I can be a harsh critic of others'
writing. Remember, an editor is not a friend. A good editor can feel like your
worst enemy. >:)

[Boris Zbarsky [:bzbarsky]]

There's a page on this already at http://www.mozilla.org/newlayout/regress.html
which is pretty wrong (eg gives the wrong script name on Linux).

Furthermore, runtests.sh has a bug where it's not using "-B 1" when running
viewer in verify mode (bernd pointed that out to me a while ago, but it's still
broken in the tree...).

This will change when dcone lands the new regression testing plugin.
