---------------------------+------------------------------------------------
 Currently, if one runs

 {{{
 $ make test
 }}}

 a file

 {{{
 $HOME/.sage/tmp/test.log
 }}}

 is created with the results of the tests. However, this stops testing two
 versions of Sage at the same time - even if the tests take place on
 different machines.

 Hence it would be useful if the log file had the hostname, date and time
 in it.

 I would suggest a name like

 {{{
 test.log-redstart-23:22:57-02:26:2010
 }}}

 would be useful to indicate

  * The hostname was "redstart"
  * The time the tests started was "23:22:57"
  * The date the tests started was "02:26:2010"

 This would allow multiple versions of Sage to be tested on multiple
 computers at the same time.

 Adding the Sage version would be nice too, as below for Sage 4.3.3

 {{{
 test.log-4.3.3-redstart-23:22:57-02:26:2010
 }}}
