That did help, but I think I'm running into the fact that pg 7.1.3 doesn't
support Darwin. Subsequent compiles (in pg) failed as pg added features
present in system libraries; it hadn't noticed they were there in config.

I know 7.2 does/will, so I'll try a manual compile of that. I'm trying to
set some stuff up for a consulting gig, so I'll get something working for
now and work on full Darwin support later. :-|

Take care,
