Heh. Well Chocolatey looks like a really nice project, and I see that
they package PostgreSQL, and their site shows 85,427 downloads. Neat!
I just think it's a good idea for this experimental CI to use things
that are already on the image if we can. FWIW I've had trouble with
other stuff fetched over the network by PostgreSQL CI jobs at times
too (Docbook templates and Ubuntu packages).

Ah, OK that sounds like a good plan then. Any chance you can tell me
what to add to PATH for that? Changing the 1 to a 2 in the path
mentioned before doesn't work.
