OK.  Regtest checking can mean three things.  1) Between releases, comparing 
the output of the regtests with what they looked like before and flagging 
any differences as potential problems.  I do this.  2) Doing the same thing 
for patches.  Patchy does this, helped by a human, currently James and was 
David.  3) Checking that the regtests themselves are OK - well described and 
functional.  The grand regtest checking project does this, hosted on my 
server and using my web code.  We're doing well.  If you log in and check a 
few, you can see the statistics.
