[Webtest] hidden fields and httpunit options

[Dierk Koenig]

you could make a custom step that subclasses ClickButtonStep
and deals with httpunit specialities directly.

(I assume you have a form where the hidden field is
changed by a js handler - [no comment])

P.S. sometimes, when tests are hard to write, it's not the
test you should change but the application.
