presumably designed, but didn't act). This allows running the temp install
tests in a non-C locale, thus exercising users' real environments better.
Document how to change locales for test runs.
"make all", and then reference them there during the actual tests. This
makes the handling of these files more parallel to that of regress.so,
and in particular simplifies use of the regression tests outside the
original build tree. The PGDG and Red Hat RPMs have been doing this via
patches for a very long time. Inclusion of the change in core was requested
by Jørgen Austvik of Sun, and I can't see any reason not to.
I attempted to fix the MSVC scripts for this too, but they may need
further tweaking ...
Standard English uses "may", "can", and "might" in different ways:
may - permission, "You may borrow my rake."
can - ability, "I can lift that log."
might - possibility, "It might rain today."
Unfortunately, in conversational English, their use is often mixed, as
in, "You may use this variable to do X", when in fact, "can" is a better
choice. Similarly, "It may crash" is better stated, "It might crash".
Also update two error messages mentioned in the documenation to match.
just exec instead of creating a subprocess. This reduces process usage
from four processes per parallel test to two. I have no idea whether
a comparable optimization is possible or useful in the Windows port.
This allows it to be used on Windows without installing mingw
(though you do still need 'diff'), and opens the door to future
improvements such as message localization.

Put the text files in the right place during make dist, so there are no
extra manual steps required anymore.
and DELETE. If specified, the alias must be used instead of the full
table name. Also, the alias currently cannot be used in the SET clause
of UPDATE.
Patch from Atsushi Ogawa, various editorialization by Neil Conway.
Along the way, make the rowtypes regression test pass if add_missing_from
is enabled, and add a new (skeletal) regression test for DELETE.
and should do now that we control our own destiny for timezone handling,
but this commit gets the bulk of the picayune diffs in place.
