REGRESS_OPTS is more widely known for this purpose, and I use it as
well. Still, I agree that there is no need to add an extra mechanism
with PGOPTIONS if a feature already exists. One thing which is also
not much known is that multiple --temp-config entries can be defined
where the last entry wins if the same parameter maps across multiple
files, so you can reduce configuration delta chunks if you need to worry
about multiple versions of the backend for the same development branch
I tend to prefer using one branch per stable version to map with
Postgres and it makes code chunks easier to see without thinking about
PG_VERSION_NUM, still that depends on the project developped.
