For me, the biggest question is whether this will

1. Identify a bunch of bugs, and then they will be fixed, and then the
script turns up no more bugs.
or
2. Turn up new bugs with regular frequency as options are varied.

In case 1, this is really a short-term tool that few people need to
actually run and file the bugs it finds. In case 2, we really want this
kind of script to make it as easy as possible for as many people as
possible to use in as many configurations as possible, and so it makes
sense to have it in-tree and available. Which case do you think this falls
into?
