This is a great idea. We already do something similar with the suite of check-in tests that we wrote (I need to fix these so they run on the external layout). But if you look at the code inside of run.rb and friends inside of the tests directory you'll see us doing exactly this between MRI, desktop CLR and Silverlight CLR.
