No, I am running it directly. Programs could warn if they figured out
that they are not running under atf-run. Print something like: not running
under atf-run, timeouts will not work. Also it would be nice if programs
when invoked with -l or something they would list all their tests, and if
invoked with -a they would run all the tests.
