I picture something like mytest;key=val and then being able to pick up ${key} with value "val" from the test script.

Since your test script is a custom script, there is no problem in doing that. Use something like this in your script:

#!/bin/sh $BBHOME/bin/bbhostgrep --no-extras "mytest*" |
while read L do set $L IP=$1; shift MACHINE=$1; shift shift TESTSPEC=$1

OPTVAL=`echo "$TESTSPEC" | cut -d';' -f2`
echo "Testing machine $MACHINE with option $OPTVAL"

done

Ah, ofcourse - bbhostgrep - how obvious, silly me :)
