There is no official binary for OSX that I'm aware of - certainly not on
the PostgreSQL ftp site anyway. However, I assume OSX uses a BSD-like
init system, in which case looking for /etc/rc.d/rc.postgresql or
whatever is appropriate would work for the majority of sensibly
configured systems. WRT 4), again, we could just assume that
installations will be in /usr/local/pgsql/data or /var/pgsql/data or
whatever, as appropriate. Last time I tried that code it let me pick
other locations anyway so there shouldn't be any major problems.

No you can't. Make it the first new feature on OSX and I'll pledge to
port it to Windows :-)

Our configure, or PostgreSQLs? Whats the problem exactly?

I can't offer a G5, but I can offer an account on developer.pgadmin.org
to upload the results to. Let me know when you're good to go.
Thanks again for your efforts :-)
