The test dialog should support the granularity of test selection that
gb.test already has: to pick individual methods inside of test modules
to run.

Given that the IDE can load classes and symbols from the project
(e.g. for autocompletion), it should be possible to use the same
mechanism to:

  [ - compile the project (to renew the .test and .info file), ]
    - read the .test file for all test class names,
    - load their method symbols.

I think this meets all our needs, right?

Tobi
