The documentation already suggests

gmake -C src/interfaces install

Dunno that it's worth more than that. (That particular choice would get
you ecpg too, but you could go down to src/interfaces/libpq if you
really want just that.)

The real issue with this sort of thing is that when somebody wants a
subset install, their desires are usually pretty specific --- eg, do
they want the include files? what about docs? Distro-specific packages
such as RPMs typically have a distro policy to follow about such things,
but it's hard to cater for every scenario in a few makefile targets.
