You can probably blame me instead of Magnus, because I did extensive
fooling with the quoting of the commands issued by pg_regress ... and
no, I don't have msys to test with, that's what the buildfarm is for ;-)

This error message seems pretty thoroughly unhelpful though.  Any ideas
what it's unhappy about?
