The shell harness should be updated so that 'make bugs' treats test failures as
normal.

Also: one thing worth looking into is silencing the shell failures (just saying
fail, rather than returning the whole -ev output).  I suspect the way to go
about this is to remove -ev from test scripts...

AH, but then how do we know what when wrong?  How do we get the context?  What I
would propose is that if there is a tests_to_run file, we run the tests as if
-ev was set.  Alternatively, we could always set -ev for tests/ but not for
bugs/ (because failing is normal)

The ghc tests are arranged to give separate (1) complete output; (2) output 
from unexpected results; (3) summary. See http://darcs.haskell.org/buildbot/all/
waterfall. This seems rather convenient.

Removing -ev from the test scripts would be deadly (in the sense that it could
destroy your darcs repository).  Please don't do that.

We could suppress output on bugs, provided we allow VERBOSE to cause it to be
displayed.

I no longer think this is worth spending time on, but feel free to re-open
