A judicious combination of 'strings' (to strip out all the non-ASCII flapdoodle from the generated files) and 'diff' (to compare the results) would tell you whether the contents have changed ...

Is there a simple way of checking this, other than looking at the sizes of the files, which obviously is not fool-proof?
