It would be nice if there was a way that the test runner could pass
information that would be added to the xunit properties. As I
mentioned in another e-mail, I currently do this via a post-processing
step which adds the properties to the junit xml file via a python
script. And there are a number of additional properties that are used
by my report generator[1] which takes the junit xml file as input, and
generates a summary report which is convenient for humans.

Some of these properties include the version of xfstests, xfsprogs,
and other key software components (for example, I've had test failures
traced to bugs in fio, so knowing the version of fio that is used is
super-handy).

So maybe we could pass in a properties file, either via a command-line
option or an environment variable? My script[2] uses a colon
separated format, but I'm not wedded to that delimiter.
