The simplest thing I can think of is to have a file called
regression/orientation.gtp which just consists of one gtp
command 'orientation 1' which is automatically included by
regress.sh and eval.sh.

Then if you want to run the regressions in another
orientation you edit the file. 

There's a serious drawback to this simple scheme which I think makes
it unacceptable, that you could forget that you've edited
the file. 

So we'd actually like to have eight commands:

make orientation_1, ... , make orientation_8

One implementation would use eight files called
orientation_1.gtp, ... , each containing a single gtp command
setting the orientation. Then 'make orientation_3' would first
copy orientation_3.gtp to orientation.gtp, then make all
batches.

There's still a problem with this scheme, that you'd like to be
able to just do one test, e.g. reading.tst.
