[Seaside] SeasideTesting and WebTester w/ Selenium

[Bart Gauquie]

WebTester opens a browser by sending a http request to Selenium Remote
Control (http://seleniumhq.org/projects/remote-control/). And then this
remote control starts the browser. Selenium Remote Control is a java process
you have to start before starting the selenium tests in Smalltalk.
