I guess you could put a whitelist/blacklist set of tests (or maybe
regexes?) into the node data, namespaced appropriately for the
minitest handler... the handler has access to this data during its
run, so it would be able to pick that up and filter its cookbook file
walk appropriately.

Anyone else want that functionality?  I mean, I could see at least
some use for it, though for my current work setup it's not
critical-path...
