  I just checked in a patch that does this. There is a new option, 
--status (or just -st) that when supplied, makes runtest propogate an error
exit status to the shell, with the other nice side effect that you get to
see the Tcl error message get displayed. By default, the error messages are
hidden.

  Thanks for the suggestion!
