ISTM it would be better to allow the regression tests to use their own
config. It might even be useful to allow the regression tests to use
multiple postgresql.conf files as a means to test different things.
Of course this might not make it into 8.1, but it seems somewhat
backwards to be setting the default config just to satisfy make check.
