I believe that Paul Reeves is working on a modified tcs routine, but I 
think having both in some form is probably going to be a good thing.

A modified TCS that is easy to install and allows a user to develop a 
few tests may be handly to get more people involved in running test cases.

For the serious regression testing the dejagnu thing I think will be better.

It can be used for generating new tests and co-opting some of the other 
non TCS test suites (nist etc).  These can be run on all platforms, but 
require more installation than just a download of a "c" exe and a few 
config files.

Im still keen on a thrasher thing, which I suspect will need to be a c 
program (and I aint' looked at your's yet :-).
