  To keep this simple, only support tests that have

   ./run passt/ndp
 
 will trigger the 'passt' setup and teardown functions.
 
 This is not really elegant, but it looks robust, and while David is
 considering proper alternatives, it should be quite useful.

 I'm not sure I'd go so far as to call it "robust".  AFAICT it will
 break for cases where the setup function isn't named after the test
 dir (e.g. for perf/* which need the passt_in_ns setup).  And, of
 course, it's still the user's responsibility to handle inter-test
 dependencies (dhcp needs ndp to run first , tcp & udp need dhcp to run
 first , etc.) 
Right, well, but I mentioned both facts in the README... ;)
