Notice that you can run run-javascriptcore-tests with --jsDriver-args=-k or --jsDriver-args=--confail to have test failures logged to the console. I'm unclear of the necessity to "ransack" (see remark (*)) the final results file to determine the tests that failed given these command line options. Disregarding where the output is printed (stderr vs stdout), the difference between -k/--confail and the proposed functionality in this patch is that we print a "passed" message for each test that passed. I take it that such "passed" messages are useful?

(*) I assume that you chose the word "ransack" to emphasize your dislike of the verbose test failure output emitted by jsDriver.pl as opposed to its literal meaning, which implies that the output isn't straightforward to read. If you meant the latter then we should look to clean up the test failure output so that it is straightforward to interpret, including making it straightforward to identify the test(s) that failed.
