It would be good to release the suite. If it's working but needs to be
more user-friendly (change hard-coded stuff to command line args,
helpful usage and error messages) I'm sure the community can help add
all that.

As for the patch which adds a log-id, why doesn't your test suite just
add that to the message when it injects it? Seems messy to put it into
the internals when external scripts can do it for you.
