I honestly think this is a foolishly complicated.

Just install the program, then run regress.  Install an older version
without the broken changes if it doesn't work.

I tire of these interactions between environment variables,
base build methods, fork+exec paths in privsep programs, and now
getting tied into regress tests.

In a word, YUCK.

I think this isn't "convenience".  Rather it comes off as artifically
complicated, trying to solve a problem which doesn't need to be exist
at all.  Perhaps even perceiving there to be a problem which needs
solving via such abstration is the true problem.
