Currently regrtest does, but they are currently all set to the same list of 
tests.  Perhaps a FreeBSD generic that implies all versions, and then if we 
ever have a test that varies per version we can add support for that :)

Brett, I think I misunderstood what you were proposing.  I agree with Antoine 
that it doesn't seem sensible to make the test suite *fail* for those cases 
where regrtest currently just says "unexpected skip".  I am, however, in favor 
of moving the infrastructure for marking tests as expected/unexpected skips out 
of regrtest and into the tests themselves.  And the expected skip report could 
be dropped, given that skip messages are printed during the test run for things 
other than whole modules.

I rely on that list of unexpected skips at the end of regrtest as part of my 
"things look like I expect" check.  If I don't have given optional-but-normal 
modules installed I know which ones they are.
