i will say i still trust and rely on the "run-all-tests" perl script that
is inside of the sql-bench dir on a mysql installation.

i think it runs the widest amount of tests that can reliably be adapted
cross platform. for some reason i don't trust super-smack fully.

it requires perl, DBI, and DBD::mysql - but it comes with the mysql
distrubition so it's received their stamp of "approval" basically for
something to benchmark the server against.
