There are several motivations for my merging tests: speed issues (a
test suite which is too slow is a test suite which is not run often
enough), group things which are related (in order to ease the moving
to some other testing scheme such as Autotest).
At the beginning I refrained myself from doing this because before
each test brought a Boolean information which could be enough to guess
what's wrong. But in practice the Boolean is never enough, and we
systematically ask at least for a VERBOSE run.
