not the input files, but the output files, yes, they are gigantic :-)

the "strategy" for reversefile (and other tests) is to concatenate N 
times a single input file (which I have in CVS) to form gigantic input 
files. they are generated at runtime by bencho.pl. but since I do 
validate the output emitted by each test, I need to store them somehow. 
for each value of N. so yes, there is gigantic stuff in CVS. suggestions 
on how to remove it from there are welcome :-)

cheers,
