Sure. It's probably easiest if you just run the squeak-ci tests, which
will set up an environment for you with the right VM and such. Given
that CI runs on a Linux, you'll probably want to do the same.
* git clone git at github.com:frankshearar/squeak-ci.git
* cd squeak-ci
* ./run-test.sh Magma

HDTestReport is just a thing that runs a test suite consisting of all
TestCase subclasses within a particular package, and produces JUnit
style XML reports of the test run.
