I will start to merge it after the release of Gambas 3.14 (soon !).

I just quickly look at your code, and I may suggest some changes in the 
public interface of the component. I saw a lot of identifiers I don't like.

Did you see that 'gb.util' adds a Class.Stat() static method that allows 
to get some information about any project class without loading it? With 
that you should be able to get all classes that inherits UnitTest.

There is no function that returns the list of project classes, but it is 
just a metter of browsing the ".gambas" directory.
