Good question.  I just started with the assumption that
a test would scripted in an individual file making it easy
to manually run a single test via

'cd source; scripts/test/runtests.sh t_dir 001'

However, the main lag in in verifying that smbd has
stopped (see functions:stop_smbd()) since the smbcontrol
has to timeout under the normal circumstances.
We could trim the timeout some.  It defaults to 10
seconds in utils/smbcontrol.c.

The 'smbcontrol smbd ping' was the most portable way I
could think of to determine whether or not smbd was still
running.  if we have a single pid, 'kill -0 <pid>' is quicker.

If we don't want to have the one test per t_XXX.sh file, then
the only real reason to have separate files would be when we
need to use a different smb.conf file.
