What's not apparent to me is why the one-click installers are any
different from the source code.  ISTM that if putting them on the
postgresql.org mirror network would be legally hazardous, then we
*already* have a problem.

Is it not sufficient to have mirror servers within the US block
connections from the embargoed countries?
