I can't seem to find any documentation on the --enable-integer-
datetimes configure option. Here's a patch that adds a very brief
description to section 14.5 Installation Procedure, which lists the
other config options.

Here's the description:
Use 64-bit integer storage for datetimes and intervals. This
guarantees microsecond precision in datetime calculations.
