This got me wondering: With the 8.4 RPMs, in psql's man
page, there is an unexplained
"*PREFIX*/share/psqlrc.sample"; the sample psqlrc installed
in /usr/share/pgsql/psqlrc.sample (sic!) says:
| -- Copy this to your sysconf directory (typically /usr/local/pgsql/etc) and
| -- rename it psqlrc.
Would it be feasible and desirable to "localize" the paths
in the configure stage? Pro: Fewer guesses by new users.
Con: Adds another level of complexity to the build system.
