AFAICT, unlike the pg_regress checks, which in the installcheck case run against a running instance of postgres, for TAP tests the only difference is that that for the check case a temp install is done, possibly with some extra contrib modules. Is that correct? If is is, why aren't we providing an installcheck target for tests like recover. In at least one case (buildfarmn jacana) installs are quite expensive (2 or 3 minutes) and if they are pointless as seems to be the case here why can't we just avoid them?
