I think given the upcoming freeze, I don't want to apply this update
to the tree.  There's no way it'll get enough testing before we branch,
where by "testing" I mean with all the packages that link against the
PostgreSQL libraries.  Since the PostgreSQL folks are pretty serious
about supporting several branches of PostgreSQL at once (they have
commercial support to help finance this), the 8.0.x branch should
still be good to use for years to come.  We can do the import (and
perhaps reconsider the number and naming of PostgreSQL package in
pkgsrc) after we branch for pkgsrc-2005Q4.

        Cheers,
