Funny thing is that both PG and Perl are easy enough to build
from scratch and the centos compile of Perl at least is both
ancient and horrid enough (5.00503 compatibility, really?) that
it's easier to just shell-script both builds and run it overnight.

Q: How un-optimized and ancient is the PG on centos?
