Isn't this exactly what we already have (make test-baseline to create the
reference version and then "make test" to compare the new output to the
reference output...). For the results see
http://lilypond.org/test/
The 2.13.3 results are at:
http://lilypond.org/test/v2.13.3-0/compare-v2-13/index.html)
Graham was referring to the fact that nobody seem to bother about looking at
those automatically-created regression results before or after a release.
Cheers,
Reinhold
