I was hacking on getting selftest --parallel to work on win32 last
night. Using --parallel=subprocess and installing testtools and the
python part of subunit into my python site-packages, I was able to
figure out how to make it to work. I've pushed these changes up to
lp:~doxxx/bzr/win32-parallel-selftest.

I didn't let it run to completion, but I hadn't noticed any obvious errors.

Ciao,
Gordon
