Good point.  How about, if an .rc file is used, the output of runtests
is something like:

  shared_cp $ runtests -lrq

  Using .rc file:  /home/ovid/.runtestsrc

  t/cp_demo_lib.....................ok
  t/cp_lib..........................ok
  t/db_connection...................ok
  t/dh_password.....................ok
  t/dh_server.......................ok
  ...
Thoughts?

I'm a testing newbie, and I apologize if this has been beaten to a
pulp in the past.

I'd try to use something like YAML for as much of the output as
practical, especially the configuration information or warnings. Perl
is great at parsing, but why make it difficult. Especially for the
person I'll worship who'll write the Eclipse TAP plugin. Hey, we all
have our vices, I like Eclipse. :)

So I'd do something like.

rc_file: /home/ovid/.runtestsrc

Peace,
