It is exactly as we designed it.  :-(

Essentially, yes.  Think of it as an .sum->.html converter that has 
state, state of the last conversion process (for regression finding), 
and state about testcase name to bug tracking number conversion.

It is unfortunate that dejagnu doesn't have such a converter, as 
everyone else rolls their own.
