It seems weird to propagate this into multiple places. Why don't we define
that centrally?
Although it's weird for this to use REGRESS_SHLIB, given it's just doing
dirname() on it. 027_stream_regress.pl has the "defense" of not wanting to
duplicate the variable with 017_shm.pl...
Not that I understand why 017_shm.pl and all the regression test source
fileseven need $(DLSUFFIX) - expand_dynamic_library_name() should take care of
it?

I don't really understand why 027_stream_regress.pl is using this (and thus
not why it's used here). The tap tests create files all the time, why is this
different?
It's not like make / msvc put the data in different places:
src/test/recovery/Makefile:REGRESS_OUTPUTDIR=$(abs_top_builddir)/src/test/recovery/tmp_check
src/tools/msvc/vcregress.pl: $ENV{REGRESS_OUTPUTDIR} =
"$topdir/src/test/recovery/tmp_check";

What does "from now on" mean?

Why C/LATIN?
Right now pg_upgrade test.sh uses --wal-segsize 1, and that has helped
identify several bugs. So I'd rather not give it up, even if it's a bit weird.

I think this should use --host (c.f. 7340aceed72). Or is it intending to use
the host via env? If so, why is the port specified?

I also think this should take EXTRA_REGRESS_OPTS into account - test.sh did.

Kinda asking for its own function...

As opposed to the unreal one?

"complain if PGHOST"?

Sounds like you're taking to post-upgrade pg_dumps.
