Block on test failures

Bjorn Tillenius, who was my manager when I started on Launchpad and is now Launchpad Technical Architect, writes a warning about adding testing infrastructure without adding it to an automated run. We failed at this with Windmill testing, but we're now on the right track. This means our Windmill test suite now runs as part of our normal test suite for Launchpad. I find myself appreciating Windmill one day and hating it the next. Bjorn's done a lot of work to get this running smoothly and integrated into our normal testing environment, and I'm curious to see how this plays out. I'm not sure it's going to be smooth sailing, but I agree with Bjorn that it's the right thing to do. We should either run the tests and fix the problems we encounter or don't use the tool, and I think this is good advice for any project when it comes to testing.
