Generally, testgres was initially designed as Python analogue of what
we have in src/test/perl/PostgreSQL/Test.  In particular its
testgres.PostgresNode is analogue of PostgreSQL::Test::Cluster.  It
comes under PostgreSQL License.  So, I wonder if we could revise it
and fetch most part of it into our source tree.
