I think if we should definitely make it possible to run layout tests in
Chrome. However, supporting all of layout test controller will be a
considerable amount of work, and I think we always want to maintain the
simpler test_shell environment for exercising webkit divorced from the rest
of chrome (to help minimize flakiness).
Two ways forward: 1) build the layout test controller as an extension, 2)
build a new multi-process test_shell. I think the first choice would be
best if we can pull it off.
