    Integration test harness.

    WXPython is *super* finicky when it comes to integration tests. It needs
    the main Python thread for its app loop, which means we have to integration
    test on a separate thread. The causes further strangeness in how Unittest
    and WXPython interact. In short, each test must be in its own module and
    thus import its own wx instance, and be run in its own "space."

    So long as the above is satisfied, then integration tests can run reliably.
