There are different ways runltp and pan interpret their arguments. While
it should have been ideally that the arguments in runltp are exactly
synonymous to pan. But that is not the truth.

So, <runltp -s> will originally mean:

-s PATTERN      Only run test cases which match PATTERN.

And when you pass this argument to runltp, it never passes it to pan in
the same way. So, pan´s -s, which is actually:

-s starts 

does not match with runltp´s -s.

And the script runltp never invokes pan with this option. So, we can
have the following option:

1) Align all pan´s options to runltp (and not vice-versa),
2) If there are conflicts in this alignment of the option names being
the same, then we may need to change the case in runltp rather than pan,
and update the documentation (pan is more stable than runltp). I would
prefer to twick runltp than pan.c.
