The attached patch allows the ducttape tests to be run in an Msys
environment on Win32. The following changes were required

- xterm is replaced with /bin/rxvt on win32 only as there is no xterm in
Msys by default.

- The path to 'which' is hardcoded on win32 only, to prevent accidental
use of a second (broken) version supplied with Mingw.

- Use psql's -o option to output data dumps to files in
compare_pgbench_dumps. This avoids using the pager which is likely to be
C:\windows\System32\more.com on Win32 and cannot handle more than 8MB of
data at once. 

To apply this patch, apply the patch itself as normal, and then rename
"src/ducctape/test_*" to "src/ducctape/test_*.in"

Please apply to CVS.

Regards, Dave
