That output, BTW, was from the log window. Are the timestamps just an
artifact of the use of a wx log class? They're somewhat interesting
at the moment, while 'wx_test' is being developed, but ultimately I
suspect we'll want to forgo them, because they make it less simple
to compare output from one run to the next.

BTW, we were talking off the mailing list about doing away with the
log window and just writing test output to either
 (1) a flat text file, or
 (2) stdout or stderr as the case may be.
Do you have a preference between those? I'm leaning toward (2).
