The default timeout for selftests tests is 45 seconds. Although we already have 13 settings for tests of about 96 sefltests which use a timeout greater than this, we want to try to avoid encouraging more tests to forcing a higher test timeout as selftests strives to run all tests quickly. Selftests also uses the timeout as a non-fatal error. Only tests runners which have control over a system would know if to treat a timeout as fatal or not.
To help with all this:
o Enhance documentation to avoid future increases of insane timeouts o Add the option to allow overriding the default timeout with test runners with a command line option

Shuah, just a friendly poke! This is needed to allow me to enable full automation for kdevops for selftests.
Shuah, friendly re-poke.
