Okay, so the point is that the embedded rpath trumps the LD_LIBRARY_PATH
that pg_regress.sh tries to supply. Which in fact is the whole point of
rpath (not to be environment-sensitive) so I guess we can't complain.
Seems like the only real solution would be for "make check" to relink
psql to have an rpath pointing at the temp installation. I wonder if
that's practical at all?
