What's needed here is not a tool that can run all unittests in existence, but an official way for automated tools to run tests, with the ability for any test and test framework to hook into that, so that you can run any test suite automatically from an automated tool. The, once that mechanism has been identified/implemented, we need to tell everybody to do this. I think the command line is the right place to do that - declare as metadata the command line to run a packages tests.

Yeah, that's good and simple solution.
