My concrete proposal. I want one simple statement from
the project that it's OK for people to say both "Postgres"
and "Postgre" so every customer, salesguy, and executive I
deal with doesn't get stuck in a terminology flame-war
evertime they use the obvious short form of PostgreSQL.
Here's a patch.

<p>PostgreSQL is pronounced <i>Post-Gres-Q-L</i>, and is also sometimes
! referred to as just <i>Postgres</i>.
! The unofficial pronunciations of <i>Post-gree</a> and
