Thanks!
I've applied that modulo two things:
  - don't use sed's -e option; not needed
  - don't sort the list of TESTS

I have a pending change that fiddles with that list, and don't
want to induce conflicts.  Eventually, the tests will be ordered
in that list so that some of the longer-running ones appear early
in the list -- then tests run in parallel are better balanced
across multiple cores/threads.
