Tom,
Both were buit with scripts from SlackBuilds.org. The 9.0.5 pg_upgrade in
/opt/postgresql-9.0.5/contrib/ is datestamped Sep 22, 2011; I don't see that
I actually built and installed it or pg_upgrade_support (that's also there
as source, but neither built nor installed). Three-and-a-half years later
I've no recollection from where I downloaded them.

A-ha! Running 'pg_upgrade --help' tells me that it is, indeed, installed.
And, it is the version for -9.3.3, too. So, this question's been answered.

Nah, nothing looks like I need them.
Much appreciated,
