Please go ahead. Ideally, you would generate the new test case output
by removing lines from the old output, but that may be too much to ask for.
Since the changes should be invisible to the Cactus test mechanism, it
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).
