That's a good point.  I hadn't thought about that yet.  I will likely 
leave it to default to some variation of /tmp/cvs-sanity and perhaps add 
an admonition to try running the tests from the file system the CVS 
repository will reside on.  Thanks.

Darn, but it was convenient to look in a subdir and find the results of 
only tests which broke.  Maybe I'll have the new suite try and create a 
symlink to the tmp space or print out the path each time.  Or something. 
I'll have to give that thought.  :(
