Operating system: Windows 7 32 bit
Description: Remove PgOleDB from Stack Builder
Details:

Is it time to stop letting PgOleDB be an option with the Stack Builder? Per
http://pgfoundry.org/projects/oledb/, that hasn't been updated in >4.5
years. That's eons in the tech world.

Even if you don't intend it, stuff that is part of Stack Builder has the
appearance of being endorsed or encouraged by the Postgres maintainers. It
sends the wrong message to include dead products with the Stack Builder.
