That's a great idea, Richard - thanks, I'll give this a shot --

So far, so good in general -- I was unable to execute the regression
tests (installcheck) - the C compilation fails. But I'm successfully
executing all of our own app-level tests, so I'm optimistic...other than

haven't gotten any responses; but I will post to the list about anything
else I come across!
