Resend with Makefile cleanups.

Tested on macppc with latest (8.2.5p{0,3}) pg client/server.
For those who are not sure how to run the regression test:

- make sure you do not have a postgresql server currently running
- as _postgresql, in another terminal, run:
  > mkdir /tmp/pg; initdb -D /tmp/pg -U postgres; postgres -D /tmp/pg 
- run make regress
