I thought it was simpler to re-use an existing mechanism. The mtr_cases.pm
already parses out lots of info about test cases in this way.

Why?

What I'd really like is something that didn't have to be maintained. Eg. the
test run could store actual test case times in some $HOME/.mtr/timings.txt,
and use that for scheduling in subsequent runs.

But for this, I'd just gotten so annoyed about always waiting a couple of
minutes extra for that final partitioning test for so long that I finally made
a quick minimal solution...
