It's already done in pgAdmin CVS (committed this morning) and I believe
Bruce committed the patch to PostgreSQL on 2nd October. I just haven't
tested it yet as I can't find an up-to-date snapshot and I don't know the
magic that has to be worked on the PostgreSQL CVS version of the configure
script in order to make it run without barfing.

2nd 'ed!

Where have you looked?  I checked a couple of FTP mirrors at random and
see up-to-date snapshots, eg at ftp://ftp.us.postgresql.org/dev/
ftp://postgresql.wavefire.com/pub/dev/
ftp://postgresql.rmplc.co.uk/pub/postgresql/dev/
all of which have snapshots dated Sun Oct  7 08:02:00 2001 as I write.

News to me that it requires any magic at all; I use it almost daily
without problems.  Why doesn't it work for you?
