   A machine can READ the *program examples* in K&R, since they are typeset 
   in an evenly-spaced courier-like font.  This seems like a logical way 
   of checking the examples.

If so, you have a much better OCR setup than I've ever seen.  I
suspect that the actual explaination is that they took the code
directly from the troff input for the book, and tested that.

As for machine-readable, I don't see anything wrong with me typing in
all the examples in the book - that's what they're for [fair use, I
hope.  Otherwise I've been breaking copyright law for a few years
now].  Letting others copy that, however, is not a good idea.

Cheers,
Tony
