Increase Cross-Plattform portability of the Testsuite

[hakre]

The attached patch increases cross plattform compability for the testsuite. It does two things:

1. Getopt compability for non PHP 5.3 systems (especially Windows but also certain *NIX Systems).
2. Usage of the PATH_SEPARATOR constant for the include path to allow it to be used on windows as well.

With these changes I was able to get the suite to run under windows.

The 1. deficency ​is documented in codex (see Note for Windows Users remark), the 2. is not. After the patch is provided that notice can be removed in codex.

Additionally I've extended the README.txt for the commandline parameters and wordwrapped it.

Interoperability / Cross Plattform related changes only.

Its long been known that the test suite requires PHP 5.3 on windows, And was always a given.

Now that PHP 5.3 is available, theres no reason not to use it.

I use the test set on Windows atm with absolutely no problems.

-ini_set('include_path', ini_get('include_path') . ':'.ABSPATH.'/wp-includes'); 
+ini_set('include_path', ini_get('include_path') . PATH_SEPARATOR . ABSPATH . '/wp-includes'); 

That'll break it. The seperator there isnt a PATH_SEPERATOR, its the seperation string in the include path, PHP uses : from memory, as that shows.

Milestone: Need to choose something, WordPress.org will do for now i think.

Replying to dd32:

-ini_set('include_path', ini_get('include_path') . ':'.ABSPATH.'/wp-includes'); 
+ini_set('include_path', ini_get('include_path') . PATH_SEPARATOR . ABSPATH . '/wp-includes'); 

That'll break it. The seperator there isnt a PATH_SEPERATOR, its the seperation string in the include path, PHP uses : from memory, as that shows.

I think you're mixing PATH_SEPERATOR and DIRECTORY_SEPERATOR. PATH_SEPERATOR does not break anything and has been made to seperade paths in the include_path setting cross plattform.

I think you're mixing PATH_SEPERATOR and DIRECTORY_SEPERATOR

Indeed i was :)
