Fair comment but since it has to be compiled against a valid PosgtreSQL
distribution, which all require GNU compilers, I don't see what the problem is.
All the C GNU compilers that I've ever used support C++ style comments which in
my opinion are much nicer to use.

Ok its I added the tar.gz file to the distribution, which you'll note it twice
the size of the zip file. May be I don't know how to use tar properly but
that's why I used the zip format - it always seems to come out smaller by at
least a factor of 2.
