Since this is still a work in progress, instead of a patch, I've wrapped 
this up as a pkg package and posted it: 
https://github.com/apjanke/octave-testify. This "testify" package also 
includes the "failure summary in test run results" functionality from 
https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/index.php?55522.

The code in the package modifies runtests() so that it can be called 
directly instead of using a copy-and-paste variant.

Cheers,
