After a long discussion on IRC, I'm replying to myself to add you some update.

There will be an additional handling of the SAL_USE_VCLPLUGIN=svp on platforms, which don't have the extra svp plugin compiled in (currently Win and OSX). My target is to get a "virtual svp mode" working as an internal mode for the win and osx plugins, as a better replacement for VCL_HIDE_WINDOWS. Then the tests would completely render to bitmaps, never exposing any GUI functions and should work via SSH. I'm not sure if we want something like a "--use-software-renderer" switch in addition, but SAL_USE_VCLPLUGIN=svp is kept for compatibility. > VCL_HIDE_WINDOWS => drop The variable is dropped, but replaced by SAL_USE_VCLPLUGIN=svp to be used consistent on all platforms, which can support it.
