Does TEST-PROFILE limit a test to run only when a specific profile has
been selected, and be skipped if not? What's a use case for using it?

Btw, another question: the "transform" pass runs after the test. Can
we add another similar one that runs before the test executes? We
could then remove BTest's filters and use profiles instead I believe.

And: your README says "four scripts need to be defined": please make
them optional so that one can skip scripts that aren't needed for a
profile.
