Hmm.  The package databases/py-pgnotify depends on it.  Not sure if it
has unit tests or not.  PyGreSQL is thick with unit tests.

It builds and passes the unit tests on Linux, Windows and, of course,
NetBSD.  Not sure about anything else but the unit tests do give us a
lot of comfort in that area.
