Dynamic JUnit

Recently, I wanted to do something slightly unusual with JUnit. I’m working on a cocoon project, so there are squillions of little XML files floating around. These need to be all well-formed. So I want a test that parses each one. Then, CruiseControl can let us know when they get broken.
