[Seaside] SeasideTesting and WebTester w/ Selenium

[Bart Gauquie]

I found the time and uploaded a new version. Please give it a run.

I've also noticed that WebTester contains an awfull lot of duplicated code.
Time to try out the reflective powers Smalltalk has I've learned in the
meanwhile to fix this. :-)

Kind Regards,

Bart
