Comment(by tibbe):

 I've attached a patch that implements the basic functionality. There are a
 few things we might want to discuss:

  * Which templates placeholders should we support. I only added `$test-
 suite`. Supporting all of the placeholders supported by `--log` will
 require some refactoring as the placeholders are computer after the test
 has been run, using a file output by the test executable.

  * Is it OK to use `PathTemplate` for template strings which aren't
 necessarily paths or should we introduce a new `Template` type?
