For 1), I think the check-one target used by jcheck doesn't change the
tcl logic: if any RUN line fails, the whole test fails.

For 2), I think the NewNightlyTest.pl script would require some small
changes, to invoke the jcheck target instead of check, pass the desired
-j flag, and also parse the log. I'll take a look. In any case, the
changes would only apply to the DejaGNU tests (llvm-test already works
fine with -jX).

Well, thanks for the great LLVM stuff.
