Its in tools, and affects absolutely zilch and, since it is in tools, never
gets run, configured, touched or installed ... its a script that will pull out
a <500k tarball that builds just libpq ... *when* its finished ...
Unfortunately, it isn't usable right now, as it does require a modification to
configure.in, which I haven't applied, to avoid a link step in ecpg,
specifically:
*** configure.in Mon Oct 29 23:35:25 2007

If you apply that after a checkout, and do:
src/tools/make_libpq.sh
cd /tmp/libpq
./configure --with-libpq-only
cd src/interfaces/libpq
gmake
gmake install
it should build and install ... I've only tested on FreeBSD so far, and have
asked Tom to test it on his Redhat, to make sure I haven't missed anything ...
its still a bit bigger then what it has to be, as I tried to make it as least
invasive as possible ...
The idea is to get rid of the whole 'split distribution' that we're doing now,
and replace it with something alot more useful ... basically, right now, to
build pgsql with PHP, you have to download a 13M file (as well as the 7M PHP
distribution) to do it ... with this, you would only have a small file to get
the one library that is required ...
