do this completely last time and Thomas is creating patches on files that
aren't supposed to exist :(

partially split

user-friendly (and more useful)

don't accidentally use non-GNU make.

Also, I think that an extra source of noise in the diff of regress.out and
expected.out is caused by not substituting the shared library file
extension in the regression.input file (much like the paths and the
usernames are sub'ed). This seems to be fixed with the following patches
to regression.input and the Makefile... If I'm off base here, please tell!
