If you're going to compare your test runs, you might be better off
storing the results in separate files, either named for the
configuration, or in directories named that way. It's a lot easier to

diff -u configuration-A/test-2.log configuration-B/test-2.log | less

than to compare the corresponding lines from different sections of the
same, common logging file (involving a lot of plumbing).

Cheers,
