Yes, it has everything that I prepared for myrice's experiments so far.

I think I'll get something like this into CVS eventually - I'm not sure
how soon that will be.  Do you want to have this in bleeding, even
though you'll need to replace it with whatever gets committed to CVS
later?  FYI, I expect that myrice will take a short break, so having
this in bleeding won't be helping the project yet.  Now, in case we want
to merge the PG-test stuff into bleeding, we'll definitely need these
changes in bleeding first.  But do we want this stuff in there, with the
hard-coded appended chars?

When we do get this into a jumbo tree, yes.
