ouch, but not critical in this case.  Mike's monster patch changes
pretty much everything, so a regtest comparison isn't useful.
I mean, it's big enough that it would be more effective to reset
the web regtest checker and recruit a new wave of users to
evaluate them.

In the future, please make sure that the regtests/ directory
contains the regtest tarball of the previous version.  Just
download one from

Given Mike's monster, I doubt that the pixel comparator will be
useful for 2.17.1.
