Here we have 2 use cases:

1) Users of the web interface, that (hopefully) have canned test sets
that work reliably. Ability to debug stuff is less important on this
scenario.
2) People developing tests, and in this case ability to debug config
is very important

I see the following options:

1) Document as part of the "test development guide" that, in order to
be able to debug stuff, that all the test sets are to be written to
the config file and then, can be parsed using kvm_config.
2) If we write all dictionaries generated by that particular
configuration on files inside the job results directory, we still have
debug ability for all use cases (I am starting to like this idea very
much, as I type).

So I'd then implement option 2) and refactor the control file with the
test sets defined inside strings in the control file, then you can see
how it looks? How about that?
