This isn't going to be much help, but it is very easy to modify SUnit to
catch syntax errors.  Here's what I did:

!TestResult methodsFor: 'running' stamp: 'eem 4/3/2007 14:10'!
runCase: aTestCase
    | testCasePassed |
    testCasePassed := true.
    [[aTestCase runCase]
            on: self class failure
            do:
                [:signal |
                failures add: aTestCase.
                testCasePassed := false.
                signal return: false]]
                    on: self class error, self class syntaxError
                    do:
                        [:signal |
                        errors add: aTestCase.
                        testCasePassed := false.
                        signal return: false].
    testCasePassed ifTrue: [passed add: aTestCase]! !


!TestResult class methodsFor: 'exceptions' stamp: 'eem 4/3/2007 14:10'!
syntaxError
    ^SyntaxErrorNotification! !

HTH

Lots of tests pop up a user interface, making them impossible to run
