I was trying to avoid that, but only because it'd make the patch bigger.
It would be one way to resolve the above gripes.
But I'm still thinking that it's fairly silly to expect Windows users to
type out the equivalent of
./pg_regress --psqldir=$(PSQLDIR)
--schedule=$(srcdir)/parallel_schedule --srcdir=$(abs_srcdir)
--multibyte=$(MULTIBYTE) --load-language=plpgsql $(MAXCONNOPT) $(NOLOCALE)
especially when no other platform is that hard. (Admittedly, some of
these switches have usable defaults, but many don't.) So it really
seems like the right answer is a .BAT script, and I'm kinda surprised
to hear there's not one already.
