Ack, I've reworked this into a patch rather than patch series.

Done, I've renamed --keep to --keep-tmp, and added this new 
functionality under --keep.

I've also added "set -e" to make sure ^C aborts the script rather than 
just one make check invocation, and moved the tmpdir removal to a 
cleanup function that's executed on exit, to make sure ^C doesn't leave 
tmpdirs behind.

Thanks,
