Yes, but that was just a passing comment - I didn't mean we shouldn't
use it, or that you needed to reduce the size. I hope you didn't spend
too much time on it because of a misunderstanding.

Well that really is an interesting question. I'm not sure I know the
answer, so I'll attempt to sum up some pros and cons and see what the
other hackers think:
Pro integration:
- One less dependency for packages to worry about
- One build system to maintain
- Functionality is more responsive
- No problems with different DLL versions if builds come from
different machines.
- Cannot be broken by moving one exe etc.
Pro seperation:
- pgScript can be maintained (and upgraded) independently of pgAdmin
- No big impact on the pgAdmin source tree (and consequent learning
curve for other developers).
Despite the difference in numbers, I think those pros and cons are
roughly equal.
Any other thoughts? (Magnus, Guillaume, Hiroshi etc).
