Patrick,

Bernt has been working on a solution where all logic around each database 
product (including starting, stopping, dumping and diffing) is encapsulated 
into a single object that provides start, crash, dump, diff, etc. as 
methods.

Bernt, what is the status of this work?

As far as I know, mysqldump is only required when producing the simplified 
test case -- the 2-way compare should be able to proceed without a dump 
utility. So I assume that you are experiencing issues with simplification, 
and not with running the actual test? Is that so?
