Oh goody.

OK, so let present a scenario PITA needs solved, and then you tell me if 
you solve it.

One of the principles of PITA is that we do as little as possible inside 
the operating system image.

That includes NOT calculating a judgement call for "PASS" or "FAIL" or 
at least ignoring it if it gets done.

So the way I need to handle this is to run the tests, but to keep a 
complete copy of the test output. And NOT to do this by doing verbose 
mode and trying to reverse engineer the output.

To make matters worse, I need to be isolated from the build process.

Meaning that I need to somehow I need to have those files put somewhere 
I can pick them up later.

So what I discussed with Andy at YAPC (you were there at the time I 
think?) is that I need to pass some sort of environment variable in, and 
have the harness not only process the tests, but save me a copy of the 
output in some directory structure, that I can pickup later.

P.S.

As an aside, installs OK for me on Win32k...
