We could include a private version of a RNG, and fix the beginning seed.
I don't think generating the files would be necessary, but it surely would
be nice, and satisfy my esthetic sense (of not including megabytes of
generated files) ;-)

With the above, one could output the "seed" for each testcase and by such
also talk about exactly one testcase. One could even talk about testcases
not even in the CVS, because everyone could recreate it on the fly.
It was just a thought occuring to me.
