When Stefan and I talked about this yesterday, we decided that the most 
consistent thing would be to add command-line functionality for 
adding/removing/updating/constructing results in a results file.  Then, 
you would just use our friend the shell:

   for x in *.qmr; do
     qmtest <some command-line here> $x
   done

For example, one primitive might be "merge".  The idea is that you would 
provide N results files, and the output would be a results files 
containing all of the results in the N files, with results in later 
files overridding earlier ones.  So, you would run the test once, to get 
a failure, or create a results file with a failure in some other way 
(say, via the GUI), and then do:

   for x in *.qmr; do
     qmtest merge $x fail.qmr
   done

Would that work for you?
