Comment (by mcayland):

 Looking at this with a fresh pair of eyes, I think the simple approach
 implemented in SVN trunk is wrong. This is because the name of the source
 library .so/.dll before the copy to the PostgreSQL installation directory
 can very between platforms, and so only PGXS can know the correct voodoo
 to install it.

 I think that a better approach would be to alter the regression Makefile
 so that it does "make DESTDIR=regress/tmp -f ../Makefile" to install the
 binaries in a subdirectory under regression, and then use the files in
 this location which should resolve the issue.


 ATB,

 Mark.
