Gives you an interactive interpreter within an autotest control file.

If you install IPython (http://ipython.scipy.org/, Ubuntu and Fedora's package
"ipython"), you'll get a snazzy IPython console with readline and completion
and all that. Otherwise you'll get a simple python console.

The point of this control file is to give you an interactive interpreter with
all autotest 'magic' loaded in, so you can inspect objects and have fun.
