Not that it really matters but I noticed lots of rather small programs

source files, by component perhaps, with a function for each individual
regression test? Just a thought.
I'm sure they could, and it would probably benefit our build
times. The problem is that a severe failure in one of them
(build or runtime) would cause the rest of them to fail too.
Getting around it would require non-trivial changes to our
build harness (e.g., build each test into a separate object
file, linking them all together into a single executable,
and on a runtime failure in one re-link all those that
didn't get to run into a new executable, and repeat).
