| ==========================
| Test suite for GNU m4 1.4q
| ==========================
|    1: capitalize      others.at:24    ok
|    2: changeword      others.at:44    ok (skipped near `others.at:47')
|    3: comments                others.at:72    ok
|    4: ddivert         others.at:93    ok
|    5: debug           others.at:108   ok
|    6: discard comments        others.at:139   ok
|    ...
|

Right.  In fact, the test suite used to create testsuite.log only upon
failure, which is no longer the case.  At that time, specifying the
test source file was useful, and now I no longer think it is.

So how about a plain

==========================
Test suite for GNU m4 1.4q
==========================
   1: capitalize        ok
   2: changeword        ok (skipped)
   3: comments          ok
   4: ddivert           ok
   5: debug             ok
   6: discard comments  ok
   ...

on display, and

others.at:24:   1: capitalize           ok
others.at:44:   2: changeword           ok (skipped near `others.at:47')
others.at:72:   3: comments             ok
others.at:93:   4: ddivert              ok
others.at:108:  5: debug                ok
others.at:139:  6: discard comments     ok

in the log
