There's not that much to it, assuming you don't need any platform-
specific variations in the expected output. You make a script under
regress/sql/, add its name in an appropriate place in
sql/run_check.tests, run it, and drop the results file into expected/
(hopefully after manual verification ;-))

BTW, am I right in thinking that sql/tests is now dead code? If so,
we should flush it, or more likely rename run_check.tests to just tests.
