Hi, 

Currently "test" counts tests marked as "xtest" among passed
tests independently of whether they do actually fail or not.

I think this way of reporting test results is inaccurate, as
an expected failure is still a failure.

I propose the attached patch that splits tests as 

"total" = "pass" + "fail" + "xfail"

rather than

"total" = "pass" + "fail" 

c.
