Обсуждение: regress changes

Hi,

Quick report from the front lines.

I've been IM'ing with Magnus and he already fixed most problems with the
regression tests.  The buildfarm should slowly start turning green
again.

There is a remaining problem though, which is that it doesn't work at
all on VPATH builds.  The problem seems to be that we are neglecting to
symlink the files into the builddirs.  I am looking into that.

I failed to notice this previously because my regular cleanup procedure
left the symlinks in place.  I think this is something that we should
hack make distclean to remove.  I'll have a look at that as well.

The "problem" is that the files are only symlinked on "make install",
and I had forgotten to do that.  So this is just pilot error.  I did
correct a minor buglet in the ecpg makefile.

Everything seems to be working now, and all tests (main, contrib, pl and
ecpg) pass on my machine.

Thanks to Joachim and Magnus for reworking this stuff.
