I don't know anything about PostgresPlus but I don't think PostgreSQL should be that hard to configure for your needs. Start with the documentation, especially chapter 17 - OS Environment:
http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.3/interactive/runtime.html
and chapter 18 - Server Configuration:
http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.3/interactive/runtime-config.html
