Oh. Duh. So I was using it wrong, thinking it was an environment 
variable. Thanks for straightening me out.

Then, although I was essentially doing the right thing setting 
HARNESS_VERBOSE (which also appears to let all diag messages print), 
I'm doing it the wrong way. So I just have to figure out how to write 
my Makefile to take the TEST_VERBOSE=1 argument and do something with 
it.

Ah, and that's a little different, since here it *is* an environment 
variable. Interesting.

Thanks,
