Fine, so there will be a lot of boring modifying of the src and associated
scripts (if the license permits), but "Not Supported" doesn't mean it can't be
done. It all depends on how much hacking one wants to do.

Maybe I am reading it wrong, but nagios/ndoutils-1.4b9/src/db.c is loaded with
#ifdef USE_PGSQL connection functions. Some of the PGSQL specific functions in
ndo2db.c are commented out, but are at least there.
