2. Export the values from pg_regress as environment variables, and then add a way for the test scripts to read those variables. I was a bit surprised to realize that we didn't have any way to do that already --- psql has \setenv, so why did we never invent \getenv?
You can do \set foo `echo $ENVVAR` but that's probably not portable enough for your purpose.
