I'm not too happy with that approach, because packagers are going to
tend to think they should package any files installed by install-world.
The entire point of this change, IMO, is that the test modules should
*not* get installed, certainly not by normal install targets.  Being
consistent with the existing contrib packaging is exactly not what we
want.

Maybe we should only allow check-world to run these tests, and not
installcheck-world?  That's kind of annoying, but what you are
doing now seems to defeat the purpose altogether.
