No, it is not absolutely necessary to duplicate these files.  Both files use 
many of the same parameters.  However, they construct the memory systems in 
different ways, so they are not complete duplicates.  Actually it would be 
great if we could remove the duplication not only between memtest.py and 
memtest-ruby.py, but also remove the duplication between 
configs/example/memtest-ruby.py and tests/configs/memtest-ruby.py.

Once we unify the configuration systems, I'll try to do this as well.

Is it necessary to duplicate this file?  Can memtest.py not be
extended to do this?
