Hi Cyril,

I perfer to report one TPASS message when finishing one subtest instead 
of one step.
     because of two reasons:
    a) It seems clearer for user to know how many subtests were run 
sucessfully.
    b) There are too many TPASS/TFAIL messages when a testcase(e.g. 
open11) contains many subtests or multiple TST_EXP_* macros.
Could we make TST_EXP_* macros do common check and generate only TFAIL 
messages? (Make testcases report TPASS message by themself)
