Hi.

pg_regress has a --dbname option (which actually take a list of database
names):

--dbname=DB use database DB (default \"regression\")

... but the PostgreSQL regression test suite does not really support this:

[jaustvik@host:regress] ggrep -R "regression" sql/* | grep -v
regression_ | grep -v :--
sql/prepare.sql:EXECUTE q2('regression');
sql/privileges.sql:\c regression
sql/temp.sql:\c regression

I suggest we replace @dbname@ with the first element in the dblist
linked list in convert_sourcefiles_in(). What do you think?

(I can provide a patch if you think it is an acceptable solution.)
