Thanks for doing this! This will allow me to shutdown http://jenkins.pointcloud.org when the server it is hosted on is decommissioned at the end of August.

I don't see any integrated tests on the PDAL side for pgpointcloud, so I'm assuming that all testing related to Paul's efforts exist on the extension (rather than PDAL) side for now. We don't need to build PostGIS, just pgpointcloud, and install the extension before testing it.
