I like the idea, 
one drawback that came into my mind is that
we need to find the corresponding lwpostgis.sql file.
In the case of several installed postgresql and possibly postgis versions,
we would need to find the corresponding one.

Given those values on the command line misses some comfort.
A command line would look like:
E.g. python runtests.py --pgpath=/usr/lib/postgresql/8.1/bin/ 
--postgissql=/usr/share/postgresql-8.1-postgis/lwpostgis.sq

Would work. 
Hmm I two possible ideas:
a) add a configuration files for test
b) additionally print out the parameters for the testrun in the results.
This is also the place we could add the used seek, if we do pseudo random 
processes,
like shuffling the tests.
