Found some problems with the implementation:
- ALL does not work as described above - it actually checks all the
_Assertions_ for the last sample. I intend to withdraw that facility.
- if the condition is Javascript returning false, the controller still
runs at least once.
I also intend to change the condition to check for the string "true"
(any case) rather than unconditionally assuming JavaScript. This is
more flexible, as it would allow the use of functions - including
__javaScript(), of course.
The controller should still work OK where the intention is to exit
the loop if the last sample fails. If not, please let me know!

Sorry for the delay, I've been out for a long time.
Thank you very much indeed for the while controller, it works fine for
me because I only need it to stop a endless loop, so I don't care if the loop is
run a last time after Javascript condition.
