OK, but you're only talking about a handful of these, right?
Lets's say we have a bunch of possible environment settings with names
that all begin with "PG_TAP_" PostgresNode.pm could check for the
existence of these and take action accordingly, and you could set them
on a buildfarm animal in the config file, or for interactive use in your
.profile.
