Yes, that works.

That's a good idea.
The output formats are somewhat different, but I can see what I can
cobble together.
It will only work if people actually install QMTest and try it out --
and so far I haven't heard any reports that anyone has tried...
People with multiprocessors -- you're going to see big speedups if you
run QMTest in parallel relative to DejaGNU. Give it a go!
