Even snapshots should work all the time. If not, it should be reported,
not posted to a web page.

The diff file always exists; if all tests passed, it's empty. The .out
file always contains a copy of what you see on the screen (i.e., the
ok/FAIL). Which one of these two you want depends on what you are trying
to achieve, but the .out file is probably less necessary, because if there
are failed tests, you will see in the diff file.
