The idea is that the top level run-all script looks in the /opt/ptest directory 
and runs all package tests that are installed there. It has no built-in 
knowledge of any tests.

While failing tests are the most interesting during development, keeping track 
of both failed and successful test cases is important for regression tracking 
and test development over time. Therefore we want to produce an output that 
clearly identifies each test case ran and its result.

Good point, I forgot to mention that. It is the responsibility of the 
per-package "run-ptest" script to clean up after the test.
