SimpleTest install changes error severity to be strict warning

Hi,

Yesterday I installed the latest recommended version of SimpleTest on Drupal 6.26, including installing the supplied Drupal patch, and then the system was full of "Strict warning"s being displayed. This made the system so developer-unfriendly that I searched everywhere to a way to switch off the strict warnings. I only managed to find the follow hack to shut them off completely.

Line 4043 of includes/common.inc

      // fudge to eliminate strict warnings after SimpleTest install
      if ($error['%type'] <> "Strict warning") {
	      drupal_set_message(t('%type: %message in %function (line %line of %file).', $error), $class);
      }

The reason I raise this as a bug report is that I don't think SimpleTest patch should change the existing set error level (or at the very least should make it clear where to change things).

As an aside, if you have a less of a hack to stop all these strict warnings that would be much appreciated!

Thanks for all your work on this.
