I agree that its a bit quirky. I don't actually mind if they are (for
example Postgres 8.1.3) in /opt/local/lib/pgsql8/bin because I have scripts
that I wrote which expect binaries there (and also have some shell path
variables pointing to that directory) but now with the discovery, courtesy
of Dr. Thon, of the completely separate postgresql811 port (for version
8.1.4), its a little bit confusing.
