I've been talking to Nasby and Dunstan about adding a Test::More/pgTAP-based test suite to the core. It wouldn't run with the usual core suite used by developers, which would continue to use pg_regress. But they could run it if they wanted (and had the prerequisites), and the build farm animals would run them regularly. The nice thing about using a TAP-based framework is that you can skip tests that don't meet platform requirements, and compare values within the tests, right where you write them, rather than in a separate file. You can also dynamically change how you compare things depending on the environment, such as the locales that vary on different platforms. Thoughts?
