Sounds good to me. Regarding the with_dso option, I think that's really necessary for a few programs (myodbc, unixodbc, perl if one is to build postgres with perl support, etc.), and should be added to them before a general solution is implemented. So long as they use the option names that will be used in the overall solution, they won't require further work then.
