True.  However, the tests are also designed to be runnable against a
production db (for example to ensure that there are no overloaded
functions, that the current functions work as advertised, etc).

If we drop the LSMB_NEW_DATABASE variable, we would have to find some
other way of flagging the database as one that is supposed to be
created.  Do you have an idea in mind for that?
