Allowing loadTestsFromTestCase() to take either a testCaseClass
or a (testCaseClass, param) tuple, where the param is then past
to the __init__ function might do the trick.  One param is sufficient, since it can
be a container for any number of params. This allows more fields
to be added to the tuple for some future, unforeseen need.

An container object for class and parameters would be a bit more
structured than a tuple.

A factory function would be the most flexible, however it seems
to go against the class introspection for discovering tests.
Then again, I don't know the code very well.
