What value does this bring to systems that have a good package system
and up-to-date repositories?  I can install Postgres today on Ubuntu
using a GUI tool, and install another GUI tool to configure and
adminsiter it.

For systems like Solaris I can see it maybe being a win.

Are you going to work with the underlying system's package manager, or
put everything in /usr/local?
