-=head2 Test that regen.pl was run
-
-There are various generated files shipped with the perl distribution, for
-things like header files generate from data. The generation scripts are
-written in perl, and all can be run by F<regen.pl>. However, because they're
-written in perl, we can't run them before we've built perl. We can't run them
-as part of the F<Makefile>, because changing files underneath F<make> confuses
-it completely, and we don't want to run them automatically anyway, as they
-change files shipped by the distribution, something we seek not do to.
-
-If someone changes the data, but forgets to re-run F<regen.pl> then the
-generated files are out of sync. It would be good to have a test in
-F<t/porting> that checks that the generated files are in sync, and fails
-otherwise, to alert someone before they make a poor commit. I suspect that this
-would require adapting the scripts run from F<regen.pl> to have dry-run
-options, and invoking them with these, or by refactoring them into a library
-that does the generation, which can be called by the scripts, and by the test.
