HttpUnit getIncludedScript NullPointerException

I realise that this is a known issue (Cactus-61) but as I've now run into it
I thought I'd do a little investigation.

The problem is that the HttpUnit WebResponse is being created outside a
WebClient; it's being created in
WebResponseObjectFactory.createHttpUnitWebResponse using reflection.

Actually, I've found this to occur even when running just HttpUnit stuff 
via the junit ant task.  I can probably reproduce it in an example 
package if anyone cares.

Some debugging I did confirmed that it was _window that was null.
