We are using the *.log files to track test results over time, but we<br>
don't need these files there. You can detect crashing tests by the<br>
fact that the log files don't have a "TestResult-" (Success, Failure,<br>
Error, ...) prefix. We have a script for doing that here<br>

but it's very specific to our buildbot setup, so it may not be very<br>
useful to you...<br>
