I've applied this to 9.3. Andrew, can we have the non-MSVC buildfarm
members running on the master branch also run "make installcheck" in
src/interfaces/libpq? If there are platform dependencies here, it would
be good to know what they are; if we don't have the tests run
automatically we will never know.

We'll need to figure out some way for MSVC animals to run the tests as
well. Any takers?

I think this is necessary, because otherwise it is quite clear that the
tests are going to be kept failing forever. They were already failing
because of message style changes that didn't update the expected output.

(I am unsure about pushing the sh to perl test harness conversion in
9.2. If anybody thinks it should be done, please discuss.)
