Then that was a misunderstanding when we discussed that back in May then
(http://archives.postgresql.org/pgadmin-hackers/2012-05/msg00022.php).
How do you prefer to resolve that now? The extensionised code in PRE_9_2
branch should work on 9.1, if you include all the right files in the
installer, including the control file. Or, we can create a new "real"
pre-9.2 branch at the point before I started any of this work. Or at the
point just before the commit that turned it into an extension. All the
commits prior to that seem fairly harmless, but would need to test that
it works on all supported platforms and server versions.
