Fully namespaced, debuggable unit tests

[Colin Clark]

Hi Anastasia,

I've committed my modifications to testrunner.js. This moves  
everything within a namespaced closure and aliases the $ variable  
safely to jQuery. You should now be able to use it without any trouble  
in jQuery's noConflicts() mode. Let me know how it goes.
