At the end of `make test` you are not left with a `postgis_reg` database,
unless you specify `RUNTESTFLAGS=--nodrop` environment variable, so
your recipe should not work as it is written right now.

I'd do:

  1) make staged-install # from top-level
  2) regress/run_test.pl --nodrop regress/core/geography.sql
  3) psql postgis_reg
  4) select pg_backend_pid()
  5) attach gdb to backend
  6) psql> \i regress/core/geography.sql

--strk;
