On closer inspection, this is awesome.  :-)

I withdraw my comment about losing some of the “noise” since all we’re
losing is pointless info, and we still have the “useful noise” (like
‘pk’ output) in those nicely structured log files.  So I’m happy!

‘make recheck’ still works; it still reruns the whole file (even if only
one test within the file failed), which is surprising but OK and
probably unavoidable given how SRFI-64 works.

The only things I would change is the attached patch: the change to
‘test-env’ removes the “Terminated” messages that Eric mentioned, the
rest improves a docstring in ‘test-driver.scm’ and uses the common
convention for Boolean variables.

If you can integrate something along these lines, then please merge!

I hereby dub you Automake Wizard.

Thank you!

Ludo’.
