I agree. If this worked well in a semi-automated fashion, there'd be
some other open source tool already available for us to use. As far as
I know, there isn't. As we work around pgrminclude's bugs, its
benefits become increasingly small and hard to quantify.
If we're not going to use it, it should be removed from the tree.
