This patch has been pretty thoroughly superseded by the recent rewrite
of pg_regress in C.  It's possible that we could modularize the C
version, but what I'd like to know first is why you can't just use
pg_regress as-is.  If it's short a small feature or two, perhaps adding
those would be the way to go.

I believe this is not necessary: just set --host='interface to listen on'.
