Agreed, very interesting and useful output!

Even,
This is way cool !
Maybe the resulting pages could be uploaded to the mapserver.org website. I'm not sure about ftp access, but the upload could probably be done with an ssh key. I would also need that functionality to upload artifacts for failed test runs, in order to visually see which tests failed, but that's another story...

regards,
Thomas
