OK, this is the part I need some help with. I take it you are suggesting I add 
a custom build step that runs the server, and returns "complete" before the 
server actually exits.

I'm not sure how to do that. 

Ideally I'd like to keep capturing stdout from the server.

No problem with this part (since I can just run the various tests and killall 
step at the end). I just need a hint on that first part...

Thanks for the advice.
