      Description

      At present Moodle phpunit tests run only with PHPUnit 3.7, we should add some tweaks to allow it to run with PHPUnit 4.0.x.

      This may prove very useful during the lifetime of Moodle 2.7 LTS. Side-effect is that we need to drop the obsoleted install via PEAR (I would personally call it a bonus).

      Note: this issues is not about requiring the latest PHPUnit, the actual version required is specified in /composer.json
