Yeah, that would work fine as long as the "somewhere else" is using an
identical Postgres build. I found out in off-list conversation that
Alexander wants to build a hacked-up version of Postgres with all
bootstrap code removed (and, I suppose, a bunch of other changes too).
Seems to me that file-level compatibility would be difficult to
guarantee under such circumstances, so I told him he ought to put back
the bootstrap support ... it's not like it's large ...
