pg_regress now seems to break on Msys virtual locations:

The filename, directory name, or volume label syntax is incorrect.
Surely this was tested when the original was prepared?
You can probably blame me instead of Magnus, because I did extensive
fooling with the quoting of the commands issued by pg_regress ... and
no, I don't have msys to test with, that's what the buildfarm is for ;-)
Neither do I right now.
This error message seems pretty thoroughly unhelpful though. Any ideas
what it's unhappy about?
I think we need to change the pg_regress error messages so that it
includes the command string that failed, at least for now.
Then we might know instead of speculating.
It will be either quoting problem or a vitual path problem, I am pretty
sure. The old shell script ran in a bourne-shell-like manner. But
calling system() from a C program will call the Windows command shell,
where the quoting rules are quite different.
