In complement with what you said: the idea here is that if you go to
lib-python-2.3.4/test/ and run py.test (with or without specific test names),
by default the test is run "the slow way" (i.e. by running py.py test_xyz.py)  
and its output is recorded in a file result/test_xyz.txt, together with some
information like revision number, date/time, etc.

Holger: I am now thinking that you were absolutely right when you suggested
one test-result directory per user.  I re-ran some tests, now I do an 'svn
up', and I get conflicts, of course.

One directory per user at hostname would even be better.  However, this will
create a whole lot of data, so it might be best to put it at some place
outside the pypy/dist root, if possible...
