In the sampling step, the --no-weighting switch disables the
equivalence-class weighting by using a weight of one instead of the
equivalence-class size. This is usually not a good idea, and should
only be used for demonstration purposes, or if the fault model
requires weight-less sampling.

The --use-known-results switch simulates sampling (with fault
expansion, FESamplingPruner) by reusing results from a previous
campaign covering the full fault space (that used the "basic" pruner).
The pruner only creates entries in the "fspgroup" table that refer to
already existing pilots and corresponding results.
This switch is not for normal Fail* use, but only for experimenting
with the FESamplingPruner.

The FESamplingPruner implements the fault-expansion variance reduction
technique (FE-VRT) as described in: Smith, D. Todd and Johnson, Barry W. and
Andrianos, Nikos and Profeta, III, Joseph A., "A variance-reduction technique
via fault-expansion for fault-coverage estimation" (1997), 366--374.
