I used the database "regression" that pg_regress leaves behind when you
remove the --temp-install from it's default invocation through make
check.  Sorry about not being explicit about that.

So, dropping one of the queries into src/test/regress/sql/smith.sql and
invoking
   make check EXTRA_TESTS=smith

was all that was needed to integrate them.  I was then able to perform
"git bisect run" on this command.  Er, plus consing the expected output
file.

I'm using the regression db a lot when hacking on sqlsmith, as it
contains much more nasty things than your average database.
