Making it buildable standalone would be a significant investment
of effort I fear. Right now it's dependent on the autoconf/makefile
infrastructure of the surrounding Postgres source tree.

The other problem would be keeping it in sync with the tutorial
docs proper. I guess we could pull those out of the main
documentation altogether, and make "the Postgres tutorial" into
a fully standalone project. But I'm not detecting a lot of
enthusiasm for doing the work.
