[Windmill-dev] js framework "exit on done" work

[Adam Christian]

This sounds fine to me, I was also thinking that this might not be  
such a bad idea for the non js tests.. that way the IDE can actually  
display some output like.. "Suite finished running" etc so people  
don't have to guess on the state.. ideas?
