Ah. I see you changed that globally, good...

I'll probably apply that part and 0002 separately.

Yes.

I guess so. It currently appears to have its own logic for finding contrib
(and other) tap tests:

        foreach my $testdir (glob("$pgsql/contrib/*"))
        {
                next unless -d "$testdir/t";
                my $testname = basename($testdir);
                next unless step_wanted("contrib-$testname");
                print time_str(), "running contrib test $testname ...\n" if $verbose;
                run_tap_test("$testdir", "contrib-$testname", undef);
        }

but does run vcregress contribcheck, modulescheck.


Andrew, do you see a better way than what Justin is proposing here?
