Unfortunately it would need a major rewrite, and either piping output
through a pager (surely the standard Unix way to handle this) or
redirecting to a file is the simplest way to do this.
R CMD check calls a process to run .runPackageTestsR, which calls
further processes to run each test and diff the results. We could
simply capture stdout/stderr of .runPackageTestsR, but then one would
have to wait until all the tests had run before seeing any output,
which may mean waiting hours -- that was decided to be too
undesirable.

It would be nice if the 00check.log file also included this part of the
output:
Running ‘bladder.R’
Comparing ‘bladder.Rout’ to ‘bladder.Rout.save’ ... OK
Running ‘book1.R’
Comparing ‘book1.Rout’ to ‘book1.Rout.save’ ... OK
Running ‘book2.R’
Comparing ‘book2.Rout’ to ‘book2.Rout.save’ ... OK
etc.
The survival package has enough test scripts that it exceeds my
terminal's scroll bar; I have to either watch closely or run
R CMD check survival >& mylog
The most prolix are
survival portfolio matlab kappalab spatstat
68 36 32 30 28
BB HSAUR2 fields pcalg aster
26 22 22 22 21
The remedy seems to be to group the tests into larger units.
