The matter is, the current text file does not allow conditional tests,
that's why the actual list of tests consists of the long text file
_and_ at least three smaller lists hidden inside shell scripts. This
makes counting of tests and formatting of results convoluted and
fragile.
Maybe this is not the best problem statement, additional input is
welcome.
