Technically, my timeout was at 5 seconds, not 10, but I think 10 is more reasonable given that some of the tests involve downloading from a remote source. To be honest though, I'd prefer it if each individual test was able to run in under 5 seconds...

Only two nits

Are you sure with timeout? I'm quite unsure about it... Well, lets try...

Please remove the whole build and sources and depndencies from configure related to softkiller.


You may do it in two changsets, as I would rather rereview the removal.


So ok to push for this one. And please prepare the removal.



I had not tested it, but Iknow you have beenstruggling with it for pretty lng time. So guess it 
really helps. Also get rid of not standart killer would be probably useful.

ty!
