Palle and I have turned this discussion over a few times now.  What we
concluded was that it'd be handy to have, but that the place to attack
this problem would be on the PostgreSQL side of things and see if we
can't work with the PostgreSQL developers to get them to assist in
splitting up the tarballs or the distributions/targets so that it's
easier to handle for everyone, not just FreeBSD.

...  then again, why would I want to help make things easier for the
Linux folk?  ::grin::

How's this for a response: it sounds like a good idea to me, but
neither Palle or I have done it yet since we haven't figured out what
the best way to do it is.  -sc
