I think what we need is just a script that compares the testresults of
two `make check' runs, one before the patch, one after it, and prints
any differences in a format that the developer can include in the
posting, showing what problems are fixed, and that no regressions are
introduced. I believe Mike Stump's contrib/compare_tests script does
that, so maybe it's just a matter of asking people to use it, or to
write some wrapper script around it so that it becomes a bit easier to
use to test all summary files?
