This change was actually meant to help with the configuration of
gnuworld. If you check the help screen for configure, you will now
find this:
--with-pgsql=PGSQLDIR Specify location to find pgsql
Default path is "/usr/local/pgsql"
You can specify the path to your pgsql installation with
--with-pgsql. This assumes that both the include/ and lib/
directories are directly under that directory installation. However,
it seems that your installation has placed the include and library
files in separate locations. I will add in the functionality to
specify different directory locations for both lib and include.
