Hm.  I don't really care to revisit the decision not to install
regress.so.  OTOH, if we don't install the .mo file, "make
installcheck" will not work, which is surely a nonstarter.
(Also, I see no provisions in either build system to build a
non-installed .mo file.)

Is it possible to override that packaging complaint?
