Hi

yes, command should be simple and not allow accessing every path.
User can use the "screenshot dir" option if required.

Yes, but what I meant is that even if it runs fast already, being able 
to remove "sleep" from tests would be good because it's never easy to 
fine tune the sleep delay for all possible cases/tests.

By using natfeats calls and waiting for a specific message, you know the 
test is in progress / complete, you just have to wait for each messages 
that the test can print.
