Hello Matt,

There is a relevant distinction though here, between a user-reported error
(in the general sense) and a user-reported error due to a missing
dependency.

Having a local built copy of piglit is a dependency of the run.py script,
hence why I'm recommending including that fact prominently within README's
dependency section per this patch.

That said, I'm not wedded to this approach -- so will shortly send out a
re-roll of the two patches from this series that aren't upstream to the
mailing list for further comment.

Regards,
Rhys
