For the new regression report format, yes. For instance, here's the
CVS main trunk report against the 1.30.0 tarball -

If you are interested in producing these, we will provide you with
the scripts. You'd need an XSLT processor and Python, but beside
that it's as simple as running a Python script after the regression
run.

Please, don't! If you have the prerequisits installed, setting up a step
to produce the new-format reports should take about 15 minutes, and they
are way much more informative.
