Makes sense.  Well, this process shouldn't be difficult, you could
simply export scraps.org to say scraps.html at a time when you know that
your config is working (you may have to edit parts of scraps.org).  You
can then save the resulting scraps.html file, and in the future you can
re-export scraps.org and compare the results with your reserved
scraps.html using the diff utility.  If you see more differences than
simply the date you may have problems.

Is there a reason that you can't just use the existing test suite for
this purpose?  Running the test suite should be as simple as loading the
org-test.el file in org/testing/lisp/org-test.el and then calling the
`org-test-run-all-tests' function.
