David Roundy's version of darcs has this neat idea of merging the two regression
testing directories:
  darcs get http://physics.oregonstate.edu/~roundyd/code/darcs

I think we should pull his patches and extend our shell harness accordingly. 
The benefit of this change is that we can write the bug tests is exactly the
same fashion as the tests proper.  For example, right now, we have to source
../tests/lib, which is a little bit silly.

Christoph, is there any chance I could assign this bit of shell harness work to
you?  Thanks!

Hi Christian,

Do you think you might have some time to work on this?  It's actually a more
important feature than it looks, because it means that we can more easily pull
patches from David's repository (we can match more dependencies).  

Feel free to say no, of course!  I'm just trying to get our developer-allocation
right :-)

I'd hate to say no! I will look into it tonight. Expect an answer soon!

Thanks for the reminder!
