-Each time when you introduce a format change and create a XSLT version upgrade script, you should add testcases for it in the testgroup ''upgrade'' of the affected application.  Preparing such a testcase is extremely simple: you take a data file in an old (pre-conversion) format, store it in two copies, e.g. ''Name-Version.poly'' and ''Name-Version-in.poly'', and load the ''Name-Version.poly'' into polymake, which automatically applies the transformation and stores it in the updated form.  Then you add the following line to ''test.pl'':
