I made this arrangement slightly more bearable by patching ScrewUnit to change
the window title to "PASS/FAIL: <original title>" so with 10+ tabs you could
actually tell what was going on.
I also experimented with automatically closing tabs that had passed, thus
leaving only failed tabs.
The title changing part of the patch is here for inspiration (it's an oldish
version of ScrewUnit so I don't guarantee it's correctness on the latest
version and it's missing the window closing functionality):

Eventually though you're going to want to report this back to your build using
*actual* browser tests (since the emulated DOM in blueridge won't always work).
I've done this using Selenium on a previous project, but it seems like overkill
IMHO.
The best solution I can envisage is a super tiny web-server (Sinatra, etc)
receiving test results from pages as they pass or fail, and reporting this back
to the build process.
