Not sure why it did work before.

Anyhow, I have updated the patch to set LIBPATH (AIX's version of
LD_LIBRARY_PATH), in pg_regress and ecpg's pg_regress.

I have tested this with default config options (enable-shared,
enable-rpath). I am starting to test the other methods as well, but
wanted to get this out first.
