I'm thinking about trying to improve the regtests, they would be much more 
useful if more reliable and less noisy.

One thing I want to do is work out a good way to attach the diffs from the 
failing tests so that people can investigate problems without having to ask
the usual "what went wrong with this test?"  Because the diffs can be quite 
large, I'd probably do something like take the first N lines (for N=100, or 
N=1000, say) for each .diff file, then tar and bzip them, and attach them to 
the email.  I just have to work out how to do attachments without requiring 
external programs...
