I recall that you thought of the split in order to save bandwidth for
those who didn't need everything. It was expressedly intended that the
-base tarball was usable by itself and that you only needed the others if
you wanted any of the optional features (--with-* etc.).

But now that the optional stuff has mostly either gone away or isn't
optional anymore a revised split would come out pretty skewed:

-rw-r--r-- 1 peter users 10824414 Sep 6 23:21 postgresql-7.3b1.tar.gz
-rw-r--r-- 1 peter users 6675930 Sep 6 23:25 postgresql-base-7.3b1.tar.gz
-rw-r--r-- 1 peter users 2585621 Sep 6 23:30 postgresql-docs-7.3b1.tar.gz
-rw-r--r-- 1 peter users 485095 Sep 6 23:30 postgresql-opt-7.3b1.tar.gz
-rw-r--r-- 1 peter users 1072069 Sep 6 23:30 postgresql-test-7.3b1.tar.gz
