Some more hacking around gives me this. The important change is no more dependency on errors.err. Instead, we use vim's own shell-out buffers, which are better. Plus, the old perl -wc wasn't working for me. And, this is also faster than using system() and gives immediate results, which is nice when you're waiting for 20+ testfiles to run. :-)

if ! exists("g:testfile")

if a:verbose
let s:params = s:params . "v"

Being right, does not endow the right to be rude; politeness costs nothing.
Being unknowing, is not the same as being stupid.
Expressing a contrary opinion, whether to the individual or the group, is more often a sign of deeper thought than of cantankerous belligerence.
Do not mistake your goals as the only goals; your opinion as the only opinion; your confidence as correctness. Saying you know better is not the same as explaining you know better.
