Err, I'm not sure if you mean the dejagnu scripts, or my scripts.
My scripts are happy with this format.
A lot of tests use "(...)" for various things, so the "PRMS"
and "gdb/NNN" bits need to be mandatory in order to pick out this
information from the noise.

Fine with me. setup_kfail *-*-* "gdb/999" is fine with me as well.

Okay, I added a KPASS column to my tables.

You can access the Gnats database through a URL:
http://sources.redhat.com/cgi-bin/gnatsweb.pl?database=gdb&cmd=view&pr=460
For programmatic access, there may already be a more suitable "cmd" than
"cmd=view", or someone may need to update gnatsweb.pl.
I volunteer to write Perl analysis scripts. My test bed is almost all Perl,
and I am planning to release it.
