[HACKERS] tap tests remove working directories

[Andrew Dunstan]

One of the things that makes the TAP tests very difficult and annoying 
to debug is their insistence on removing their data directories. I'm not 
sure why they are doing that. We don't do that with pg_regress. Instead 
we have clean targets to remove them if necessary. I suggest that we 
either disable that altogether, and provide cleanup make targets, or at 
least make it optional, say by setting an environment variable, say 
TMP_CLEANUP or some such. There is probably a good case for defaulting 
that to off, but I could live with it being on.

Thoughts?
cheers
