Adding Vedant here.  My understanding is that the work he did there is like the 
inverse of what I'm doing.  It allows you to use FileCheck from inside of 
dotest tests, but I was trying to bypass dotest here.  I don't necessarily 
think "dotest for all things" should be an explicit goal (i actually think long 
term we should move away from it, but that's for another day).  Aside from that 
though, I don't think this particular test needs any of the functionality that 
dotest offers.  It offers building in multiple configurations, but we can get 
that from this test by just specifying mulitple run lines (I'm testing this out 
locally and it seems like I can get it to work).  Eventually, using some kind 
of configuration / builder type system like I brainstormed in the review thread 
I linked previously, I think we could have all the advantages of dotest's 
builder even with this style of test.

FWIW, I was also under the impression that Vedant's solution with FileCheck in 
dotest was only intended as sort of an immediate solution to a problem, but not 
necessary the long term desired end-state. (I could be wrong about this though).
