So, you are fine with the interface, but it is going to have to change?

And, our users (??) will be unhappy if we change the interface, but
you want to do something similar, and they'll be okay with that
change?

And, you have no feedback other than throw it all out and create a
single argparsed based thing with a similar interface?

That about sum it up? :)

In terms of interface changes, I think 'piglit-run.py [args]' to
'piglit run [args]' is a fairly small adjustment.

I've really never thought piglit's command interface was particularly
bad (or good :), which is why I'm just looking to do the minimal
translation here. I do think it is pretty bad the way we install
piglit binaries and libraries, so I was just trying to fix that.
