Comment (by tbode):

 This proved simpler than expected. The latest attachment now upgrades the
 ABSTOL and RELTOL entries to hashes.  If a test's datafile matches more
 than one expression aside from the default at the given level (thorn-wide
 or test-specific), a warning is thrown and the script is verbosely
 aborted.

 New usage requires the format
 {{{
 ABSTOL <Tolerance> [Expression]
 RELTOL <Tolerance> [Expression]
 }}}
 where [Expression] defaults to .* if missing.

 Random examples:

 {{{
 ABSTOL 1e-5
 ABSTOL 1e-10 Psi[0-9]
 ABSTOL 1e-12 g[xyz]
 ABSTOL 1e-4  (.*)*.x.asc
 RELTOL 1e-12 .*
 }}}

 Again, any number of expressions are allowed at any level as long as a
 file matches one and only one extra tolerance expression.

 This passes every test I've thrown at it and it fits everything that was
 desired, so please review it.
