Actually it works, as you discovered some time ago, using PGXS.  I use
it to test PL/php.  (Yes, I'm hacking on that ugly thing.)  I think
other module authors would also have some sort of regression testing;
having this in place eases things a bit.

I guess people whose packages need to support systems without PGXS
already have some testing harness in place, so it will be less useful to
them.
