I'd be just as happy for someone else to own this, but I got sick of seeing
regressions and decided to whip it up.  Only invested a few hours in it so far.

The failure in the dmd test suite is wierd.  I'm trying to figure out why the
test in a clean checkout produces different results than in my development
checkout.  There's darned few differences, but obviously something differs.
It's creating the resulting .lst file in
test_results/runnablerunnable-sieve.lst.  Easy enough to add an extra / in the
dmd_coverDestPath call, but why is it acting different?  I think I'll 'fix' and
then dig later.
