Actually, we have a standard: it's pg_regress. The right thing for
someone to do is migrate all these tests into the form already used
for the main backend and all of contrib.

I think this would require a small addition to the pg_regress script
to make it configurable as to which PL to install, instead of always
installing plpgsql, but that seems like a reasonable thing to do.
