#335360 by vingborg. A heroic patch. Drush is no longer a module and does not require a functional drupal site in order to do work. That means it will soon be able to install drupal locally or on remote servers, or run unit test suites, and so on. Drush commands are just include files, and not whole modules unto themselves ... Core drush is identical for all core Drupal versions. many of the commands that shipped with Drush are now removed in favor of a new 'Drush Extras' project which I will soon publish. Thanks for all the hard work and reviews on this patch.

port drush core and drush simpletest to 7.x. simpletest can list tests but not run them since we have no solution at the moment for non batch results reporting.
