Although these files get cleaned up if the test runs to completion,
a failure partway through leaves trash all over the floor. The Makefile
ought to be bright enough to get rid of it when you say "make clean".
It runs the regression tests, runs pg_upgrade on the populated
database, and compares the before and after dumps. While not actually
a cross-version upgrade, this does detect omissions and bugs in the
involved tools from time to time. It's also possible to do a
cross-version upgrade by manually supplying parameters.
This isn't fully tested as yet, in particular I'm not sure that the
"foo--unpackaged--1.0.sql" scripts are OK. But it's time to get some
buildfarm cycles on it.
sepgsql is not converted to an extension, mainly because it seems to
require a very nonstandard installation process.
