	To clarify:

	The ap-auth-postgresql DEPENDS is postgresql-{6.5.3*,7.0*,lib-*}

	One of those entries (the last) matches the current version of
	postgresql in pkgsrc. The other two are to permit
	ap-auth-postgresql to be installed against earlier versions of
	postgresql. I do not see any reason to adjust the dependency
	until we want to drop support for installing on systems which
	have the older postgresql installed, and even if we do that it
	seems likely that _some_ package will have a similar DEPENDS.
