Comment (by boklm):

 The branch bug15994-v0.1 in my user repository contains a script to run
 the unit tests:
 https://gitweb.torproject.org/user/boklm/tor-browser-
 bundle.git/commit/?h=bug15994-v0.1

 This script:

 - starts an Xorg server with a dummy driver and a window manager
 - uses git to find the tests that Tor Browser commits add or modify
 - run all modified/added unit tests and save logs
 - stops the Xorg server

 What remains to be done:

 - remove --disable-tests from .mozconfig
 - add the packages used by the script and calls to the script in the linux
 gitian descriptor
 - add instructions to copy the tests logs archive to the build directory,
 and update gitian/hash-bundles.sh to not include them in sha256sums.txt
 - compare the build time with and without running the tests to see if
 that's acceptable
