While testing the recent pgxs patch, I noticed that you can build and
install contrib with PGXS:
cd contrib
gmake USE_PGXS=1 all
gmake USE_PGXS=1 install
It seems that it ought to work to run installcheck too:
gmake USE_PGXS=1 installcheck
but this does not quite work because the pg_regress script isn't
included in the installation tree. (If you copy it to where it'd
need to be, installcheck works.)
Is it worth including pg_regress in the installation to make this
work? Seems like it might be handy for external modules to be able
to run self-tests.
