The reason is that there is a function 'patch_file' which
transforms *.tst to *.ml, meaning, the basename is preserved.

This transformation is currently the identity
and could be dropped entirely.

Alternatively .. or as well .. the generated code,
including a copy of the source, could go into
a tmp directory as Janne suggested.
