Suppose we adopt your suggestion and let test programs be ordinary executables in ordinary 'Executable' sections, and make 'Test' sections that look like:
Test foo-1 exe-is: foo options: --enable-bar --disable-baz
Test foo-2 exe-is: foo options: --enable-bar --enable-baz
Test some-other-test exe-is: some-other-test options: --something-completely-different
Now we get named sets of options but don't have to worry about parsing through to find the executable names! It also solves the problem of running test suites with multiple sets of options at runtime.
Ah, I like this too, as well as Gregory's suggestion re: "Automatic" options. --Rogan
