i was more concerned with being able to search for "foker linux" or "foker 
software" and getting back unambiguous hits (doesn't seem like any one else is 
using this in the software space).

yeah, i think i'll want to rejigger things to be more data driven.  you're 
right of course that for many LTP syscall tests, these command line programs 
would be capable of exercising the same code paths.  the open question would 
be how to integrate with the rest of the "fluff" that makes LTP nice to use 
(things like TCONF & TBROK and such).

i'll start with the base framework and we'll see how things evolve from there.
