Another thing that's annoying about this is that it doesn't give you any
idea of how it's failing if there's a database difference. All we get is:
Files /home/pgrunner/bf/root/HEAD/pgsql.3188/contrib/pg_upgrade/tmp_check/dump1.sql and /home/pgrunner/bf/root/HEAD/pgsql.3188/contrib/pg_upgrade/tmp_check/dump2.sql differ
See
<http://www.pgbuildfarm.org/cgi-bin/show_log.pl?nm=frogmouth&dt=2011-11-28%2019%3A30%3A03>
for an example. For buildfarm purposes this is pretty low grade info, ISTM.
