Description
Originally submitted to Google Code by @yanne on 25 Jan 2009
It would be convenient to be able to define values for variables from
command line. The values would not be replaced in the test data; instead
their values could be used to try to resolve resource and variable file
imports that contain variables.

Start by locating RIDE's command-line argument handling and the paths used to resolve resource and variable-file imports. Define how command-line variable values and variable files are specified, then verify that they resolve imports without replacing values in test data.
