Actually, it makes it a 'storage' issue on the CVS server itself, but
makes creating various packages easier ... I've pop'd off an email to the
libpqxx configure guys to get their standalone configure issues fixed (try
running autogen.sh), after which I want to look into 'calling' the
standalone configure from the global one if --enable-libpqxx is called
(which we can later default to 'on' if that should become the default) ...
