Rewrite pg_regress as a C program instead of a shell script.

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.

Any other error is cause for suspicion.
The parallel regression test script (gmake check) is known to lock up
on PA-RISC when run under HP's Bourne shells: /usr/bin/sh and
/sbin/sh. To fix this problem, you will need PHCO_30269 with its
dependent patch or successor patches:
PHCO_30269 s700_800 cumulative sh-posix(1) patch
PHCO_29816 s700_800 rc(1M) scripts cumulative patch
To work around this problem, use ksh to run the regression script:
gmake SHELL=/bin/ksh check
If you see that the tests have stopped making progress and only a shell
process is consuming CPU, kill the shell process and start over with the
above command.

On some systems, the default Bourne-compatible shell
(<filename>/bin/sh</filename>) gets confused when it has to manage
too many child processes in parallel. This may cause the parallel
test run to lock up or fail. In such cases, specify a different
Bourne-compatible shell on the command line, for example:
<screen>
gmake SHELL=/bin/ksh check
</screen>
If no non-broken shell is available, you may be able to work around the
problem by limiting the number of connections, as shown above.
