Ancient tradition, I suppose.

Anyway, the package is called PostgreSQL, the tar ball is
postgresql-xxx.tar.gz, the rpm is postgresql-....rpm, the BSD ports are
also under postgresql somewhere.  Also, we create subdirectories
like .../share/postgresql and .../include/postgresql.  So it only makes
sense to keep that naming scheme.  Or maybe I'm just concerned because
many people can't spell "PostGresSql".  ;-)
