This is a wrong path.

The winner should be found by weighting the results in such a way that all 
tested languages are at least close to equal.

If such equality can be achieved by some canonical weighting, then they are 
all equal in respect to the test battery, because all fell into the same 
equivalence class.

Only if there is more than one equivalence class, at least one extreme 
participant can be declared, which might be the winner---or the looser as 
well.
