To achieve this you have to make the program (that is to be tested)
aware of the test framework. There is no plan to support this in Xnee.

If eithre someone helps us out or if I find some sponsor it can be achieved
but right now all my spare is spent on activities directly related to
FSF Europe.

Again, I think you have to make the program aware of the test tool. Am
I right?
