True.  If we push it into contrib as of 9.0, I think this won't be too
bad, because the pgfoundry version will only be covering 8.3->8.4.
Given all the limitations in that version, it's not going to be too
interesting and will probably die on the vine pretty quickly.  If we
hold off merging it till 9.1, though, the pgfoundry version probably
will be useful and in need of maintenance for a while to come.
