I forgot to report that I also tried a `make install`
and 'make uninstall`, with no problems.

FWIW, I suspect the include/backend/postmaster/ directory
would today be named include/backend/postgres/. Now
would be the time to change the name, but I don't see
it being worth the work. And while such a change
wouldn't break pg, that kind of change would break something
for somebody.
