I suggest we add support for a new section, something like <precmd></precmd>
to contain a perl-statement that we run (if existing) before the test is
executed.

It would then in this case look something like:

<precmd>
my $url = "http://%HOSTIP:%HOSTPORT/".(a x 1000)."/22";
open(FILE, ">log/dump");
print FILE "url = $url\n";
close(FILE)
</precmd>

And the <command> line would then use '-K log/dump' to use this URL.
