pgAgent is a bad example as it's scheduled for removal from the core
this release anyway. If we're going to bundle pgScript with pgAdmin,
then I'd rather just integrate and be done with it. If we're going to
keep it separate, then that should be because it truly is separate
(can have it's own release schedule etc). Of course, that wouldn't
mean it can't share pgAdmin resources such as SVN and the website etc.
