CIM provider test tool should have little or dependency on a cimom IMO.

SBLIM Testsuite has a 'dependency' on wbemcli, which is a cimom-agnostic command-line client tool for performing CIM operations, pretty much equivalent functionality to Pegasus CLI tool.

Perhaps that's enugh reason to go with SBLIM Testsuite? Certainly it lacks ability today to perform complex like scripted CIM operations, but I'm not getting the impression cimtester provides significantly more in terms of functionality. Plus SBLIM Testsuite is being used today for the automated testing of the various SBLIM provider packages going into SLES & RHEL...

This patch is the humble beginnings of our test suite. The tests did not get too far with the latest because of all the instability (CIMOM seg faults), however, this is one of the reasons we started down this path anyway. There are a bunch of errors if cimtester is run on a previous, more stable version, but the test finishes. Let's decide soon which direction we want to pursue (sblim-test or cimtester) so I can either make improvements on the cimtester stuff or get started on the sblim-test work.

Damn... While playing with your patch I realized (while building it) that cimtester has a dependency on OW client library - which is only available in the whole of OW itself. So you have to have OW installed to build/run cimtester :-(.

sblim-testsuite has a dependency on sblim-wbemcli, but the latter has no cimom dependencies.

Seems to me we want a cimom-independent test infrastructure. Thoughts?
