Yes -- and I'm familiar with how the regression test is set up in
src/input; see the ChangeLog :-)

Yes -- by output I meant what is "displayed", see my other mail.  I'm
not talking of what is saved in .output.  Somehow, you seem to be
believe that I don't make the difference :-(

You said you have a build problem.  But tha answer to that problem is
to have a separate rule for check when you're interested i build only.
