[Webtest] conditional looping

[Michael Finney]

Well, simply the case is that N number of pages have
to be dealt with and N is a random number.  Thus, the
number of iterations is arbitrary.

Think of the situation with a randomn number of pages
as a game or test.   see http://www.jatitan.lycos.com/
if you want to know what game.
