+ Custom server settings to use when running a regression test suite can be
+ set in the <varname>PGOPTIONS</varname> environment variable (for settings
+ that allow this):
+<screen>
+make check PGOPTIONS="-c log_checkpoints=on -c work_mem=50MB"
+</screen>
+ When running against a temporary installation, custom settings can also be
+ set by supplying a pre-written <filename>postgresql.conf</filename>:
+<screen>
+echo 'log_checkpoints = on' > test_postgresql.conf
+echo 'work_mem = 50MB' >> test_postgresql.conf
+make check EXTRA_REGRESS_OPTS="--temp-config=test_postgresql.conf"
