Thanks for tackling this! The output now looks nicer indeed if you run
"make check-qtest check-block -j8". However, if you add a "V=1" at the
end of the command line, the outputs look quite different again...

That's why I thought that having a TAP mode for the check script could
be a good idea, too. Then we could pipe the output through the
tap-driver.pl script, too, so we get uniform output for all tests...?
