Never did v6.5.1...but I have no problem with starting to do this on minor
releases to, since...
Could someone try out the following patch?
ftp://ftp.postgresql.org/pub/postgresql-6.5-6.5.x.patch.gz
It is a patch against v6.5 that will bring it up to the most stable

good, but...
If this actually works, we just might have a way of saving ppl downloading
5Meg files on minor releases, as the above is <100k :)
