    If differences to .Rout.save occure:
       - Manually check differences. You might want to use something like:

	or
	    meld regtest-XXX.Rout.save regtest-XXX.Rout &

       - If ok, copy new .Rout files to .Rout.save:

       	    Rscript copy_Rout_to_Routsave.R "vignettes=FALSE"

       - Update vignette .Rout.save files if necessary

            Rscript copy_Rout_to_Routsave.R "vignettes=TRUE"
