Using the current directory works for me.
As for multiple skips, I guess I could determine possible file names based
on the name of the platform ("ToSkipDARWIN.txt", "ToSkipDEBUG.txt", etc.).
Think I am going to have to read up on VPATH...

Sounds reasonable. I can go with that. Might require tests to be on
individual lines (-f option just does a ``line.split()``).
