I understand. Another option would be to always sort the tests unless you
have specified their order on the command line.
o if you specify none -- everything is sorted.
o if you specify only dirs -- evething within dirs is sorted, dirs order
is preserved
o if you specify file names they aren't sorted.
o if you specify random, you get it random.
I like this option even better. You?
also you could always do:
$ ./t/TEST `echo t/*/*.t | sort`
even in Makefile
