I'm looking to correlate a given display of one of mnay xunit test
results in Jenkins job to the one of many job-YYYY-MM-DDTHH.MM-UID
directories I have collected for the test run.

My xunit output shows me I have a failed test.  I want to go to the
job-YYYY-MM-DDTHH.MM-UID I have in the archives for the job to see more
information about it.

This doesn't correlate to an avocado/job-results/job-YYYY-MM-DDTHH.MM-
UID directory does it though?

So while I can do this, I can't seem to display it in any way such that
it gets into the xunit results in any way.  I can print it, in
__init__(), say, but that doesn't end up in the xunit results file.

Hrm.  Looking again, I see that self.log.info() results end up on the
xunit Standard Output.  This is probably where I can add this.  I just
need to convert all tests to using my subclass and calling the parent's
setUp() in their own setUp(), etc.

You could just delete the duplicates before archiving them in Jenkins. 
I do that for the jobs-results/*/html/ subdirs since the links in them
are broken anyway.

Or maybe have avocado not produce the debug.log if xunit output is
enabled.
