Actually, the last time I looked seriously at cvsup, my requirement was
that it build on HPUX, which it did not (well, maybe it would've with
sufficient investment of pain, but that wasn't happening). I was about
to take another look at whether I couldn't just-install-it on FC4, but
my main FC4 machine is now x86_64, so your remarks are discouraging me
again :-(
This whole discussion reminds me why we've stuck so fervently to
bog-standard ANSI C for Postgres. There is a payoff for taking
portability seriously. Too bad the original authors of cvsup were more
interested in using a flavor-of-the-month programming language...
