My suggestion here is this:

Keep Jay's system and Eric's system for now. Test-run is in need of a
good overhauling anyway. We've got a summer of code student who is going
to be working on code-level unittesting. At that point, we should have
enough examples and data to work from to do a proper refactoring into
something we can actually use and that meets all of the needs we have.
(Consider this prototyping and requirements gathering)

I fear if we try to just quickly do something consistent right now we'll
wind up with something just as ass-tastic as test-run.
