Good! This may be useful to some of the compiler suppliers, too.

Would you be willing to add it to tools/regression?

Just yesterday I committed a simple tools/regression/index.htm file. A 
mention with link to the script could go there, and perhaps a bit of 
documentation in more/regression.html. At the least, there should be a link 
in more/regression.html.

In looking at the script, perhaps it could be made a bit clearer what needs 
to be changed to tailor it to a particular system. Or perhaps that could be 
done in the docs. Anyhow, this should be a helpful addition.

Thanks,
