Doesn't this means we now include common/config in every test setup
routine, even though the environment it sets up is inherited from
the check function.

If so, that's going to add significantly to the individual test
startup time (which already takes a significant fraction of a
second) and this happens hundreds of times over an auto run instead
of only once when we start the test run. It seems wrong to be doing
this over and over again unecessarily....

Cheers,

Dave.
