Thanks. I'll look at it. I am kind of starting to like the idea of library +
GIR-based external runner, so I'll look whether it would make sense to do
that on top of the fixture class (the runner needs something to look for
anyway, so it would need a fixture class in the end).

Do you think the framework will be large enough to warrant separate library?
Though perhaps if support for fixtures with temporary directories, data-driven
tests and various other goodies are added it will be.
