This is essentially doing the same thing as patch I'd sent back in the
day that (I thought) was going to get into the next release, but I'd
never had a chance to follow up on it.

(What I think is) the original thread is here:

http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-bugs/2003-01/msg00005.php

...my patch isn't at the link given anymore, but the latest version of
it is here:

http://cvs.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.py/fink/dists/10.3/unstable/crypto/finkinfo/postgresql-ssl.patch?rev=HEAD

The current behavior *is* broken; things work only because everything
ends up linking statically against the .a's, and the bundles are
basically dead weight.
