Good point. 063 does litter, even on success, however:

$ rm -rf scratch/
$ ./check -raw 063
...
$ ls scratch/
t.raw.raw1

One idea presented in an earlier thread was that common.rc should create
a subdirectory per test (rather than all tests sharing scratch/), and
then common.rc itself install the cleanup hook that wipes out the entire
subdirectory (or maybe even add a command-line option to ./check to
suppress wiping when it is desirable to debug a test failure by seeing
the droppings left behind).
