Yes, it does a little bit more, because I can't rely on using the current
apache and postgres installations for regression testing, I set up a
temporary copy of both, and configure rt for them, install it into a
temporary directory, then run the regression.

This is a single aegis test program that runs the RT regressions, but
self contained so that it doesn't impact anything else on the system.  It
should be simple enough to modify for using with mysql, and other
combinations of mod_perl and speedy cgi (I'm currently using FastCGI).

Once I've debugged it to the point that I'm happy with it, and I can trust
it for rolling out new versions of my package onto my production machine,
I'll send you a copy for perusal.
