You mean #contrib/#src/bin/# here, right?  I don't think that we have
any need to have "make -C" do nothing.  For vcregress.pl, we should
IMO just remove upgradecheck.

Perhaps.  I am not sure what's the best picture here, TBH.  One
difference between the core stuff and the buldfarm is that in the case
of the buildfarm, we upgrade from a version that has not only the main
regression database, but everything from the contrib/ modules.

Speaking of which, I am going to send a patch for the buildfarm to be
able to use the SQL file from 0df9641, so as committers gain a bit
more control on the cross-version upgrade tests run by the buildfarm,
using the in-core code a maximum.
