reporter.php has a search field for "description", but which
phase is that for? MPI Install, Test build, or Test run? A
scenario is that Sun will have a home-grown "funclet_files"
funclet set the "description" in the Install phase (e.g., a
label identifying which ISO is being tested). It would be
useful to have one of two things:

  * [easier] Have the "description" fields broken out in
    reporter by phase. E.g.,
    * MPI Install description
    * Test build description
    * Test run description
  * [harder] Be able to have a phase description carry over
    to subsequent phases. I think the logic should work like
    this: if an MPI Install has a description, then this
    description will carry-over to its Test build and Test
    runs if another description is not specified in those
    post-MPI-Install phases. (Same for Test build.)
