Log message:

	pg_regress' locale-variant mechanism to automatically consider the test
	to pass if it matches either supplied comparison file.  geometry_1.out
	replaces the former geometry-positive-zeros.out.

One issue is how are we going to know when a results file _isn't_ needed
anymore, because we will not be matching regression files against
platforms anymore?  Do we need a comment somewhere in the file?
