Print KFAIL's in dejagnu summary?

Hello,

At present KFAILs are supressed from the summary output (the stuff on 
the terminal from "make check").  I'd like to change this so that 
KFAILs, just like FAILs, are included in the summary.  A KFAIL, just 
like a FAIL, indicates a bug in the system under test, and hence should 
be included in the summary.

Having seen this feature in action for a year now, I think it's 
reasonable to conclude that people are ignoring KFAILed tests just like 
they ignored GDB's bogus XFAIL tests that went before.

This would mean that any summary output - XPASS, KFAIL, KPASS, and ERROR 
would need action.

thoughts?
Andrew

PS: Some [non] history.  Neither Fernando nor I can figure out how/why 
the current behavior came to be.  Our best guess is that there was some 
flip-flopping (the lists suggest this) and the current behavior was 
chosen because it happened to be that way in the last version of the 
patch.  Enjoy!
