There might be a technical solution here; I *think* RPM allows pretty
flexible running of scripts. We could only make binary distributions for
architectures that support RPM.

We could also pop up a message on 'initdb', or the first time the
postmaster is started etc etc.

We might even want to be really paranoid, and warn each user when they
first go into psql...I provide WWW services, and part of that service is
access to PG. My agreements always limit my liabilities, but these users
never see the BSD waiver of PG...
