How about letting the first "make check" run with whatever is in the
environment, and then forcing TZ to become set (much as above) for
all the remaining tests?  I'm afraid what you've got here might
encourage a certain sameness of the test environments.

Commits

  1. Attempt to identify system timezone by reading /etc/localtime symlink.

  2. Make sure to run one initdb TAP test with no TZ set

  3. Use one transaction while reading postgres.bki, not one per line.

  4. Move bootstrap-time lookup of regproc OIDs into genbki.pl.
