I've pushed this version, with the plpgsql block. I've tested it on all
the machines I have here, hopefully it'll make buildfarm happy too.

AFAICS I was mistaken about what the pump() functions do - it clearly
does not run the command repeatedly, it just waits for the right output
to appear. So a busy loop in plpgsql seems like a reasonable solution.
Perhaps there's a better way to do this in TAP, not sure.

My brain hurts from reading too much Perl today ...
