Before that commit it was like

PROVE_FLAGS = --verbose

which had some value. I agree that now we'd be better off to not
set it at all, especially since the convention now appears to be that
automatically-supplied prove options should be set in PG_PROVE_FLAGS.

I'd suggest that the comment just above be replaced by something like

# User-supplied prove flags can be provided in PROVE_FLAGS.
