subunit allows
random executables to implement unit tests. Currently, filenames of
test programs to run are hardcoded, and must be edited by the user.
In order to allow it to be used as an external tool (rather than requiring it to exist in-tree), and in order to allow people uncomfortable with editing a python script to use it, it should be possible to source these filenames from elsewhere, preferably some form of (simple) file listing the filenames to run as tests.
Ideally, this file should be in a format/naming compatible with GNU automake or other tools that provide test harnessing.
