Let's stick to running KForge tests with kforge-test for now. That code 
could make better use of the unittest test runner code. I never 
straightened it out. But let's keep things simple and leave this aspect 
alone for now.

Of course in time we can change anything. But let's be disciplined and 
remain with the current state for now.

Yes, but you don't know that it does everything in the same way, and we 
need to run the tests in the same way.

Let's just run KForge tests with kforge-test. It isn't broken and we 
don't really need to spend time discussing it. Can't we both just run 
kforge-test?
