 should be enough to rerun the tests with the new output, verify that they
 still pass, then commit the new data.  We can then use version-control
 tools to examine the diff, which should consist only of these header
 lines.

 I would actually be very surprised if the differences were only the header
 lines. Some of those test files were generated years ago with a compiler
 and options that are no longer in use. I would very much expect that
 regenerating the data would change the data in the files (this already
 happens when comparing intel and gcc compiler results).
