That's better than nothing, certainly, but it doesn't catch all the ways
that C locale could be selected (LC_ALL, no valid setting for LANG, etc).

I suppose that what we really want to know is what encoding will be used
in the regression database.  I wonder whether the Makefile could find
that out more directly.  Although maybe it's time to bite the bullet
and teach pg_regress how to select whether or not to run the test ---
that would have the advantage of (probably) working on Windows, which
no amount of Makefile-hacking will do.

BTW, is there a reason that override isn't spelled more like

override EXTRA_TESTS += collate.icu

?  That seems more readable and idiomatic to me.
