Hmm.  While Python's PRNG is pure python, so should give the same results
with the same seed on different platforms, I think saving the execution
order is better.  Consider the case of fixing a test that involves
generating more or less random numbers than before -- the act of fixing the
test loses the determinism you were hoping to preserve with the PRNG.

Also, it'd probably be nice if adding tests didn't interfere with
"replaying" a specific run of tests.

It's probably worth saving the PRNG with the execution order, though :)
