However, this seems like the wrong direction. We already have a nice test infrastructure that redirects test output away from the user and respects "--verbose" to turn it back on. t5500 does quite a bit of work outside the test harness, and it makes more sense to me to move it inside. That would take care of your useless spew, _and_ it would help detect failures in a more robust way.
