I think it's only marginally useful to store the env->log messages in
the results file.  It would allow us to reconstruct a log if the
original one had been lost, but it doesn't really make it easier to
compare two results databases.

I'm convinced that as the number of tests grows, it'll become much
more important to compare results of two runs than to examine results
for a single run.  That's how we'll determine which features change
from release to release, which features don't work reliably across all
drivers, etc.
