Well that's a bit if hyperbole. There's a gulf of difference between
an embedded use case where it should fit within an acceptable
footprint for a desktop app component of maybe a megabyte or so of ram
and disk - if we're generous and saying it should run comfortably
without having to spec out special server hardware for a demo.
That said 64mb of ram seems like hyperbole too. My NSLU2 has 32mb...

In defense of thinking about very small configurations, I've seen
many
cases where an enterprise-software salesperson's laptop is running a
demo - either in a small virtual machine in the laptop, or on an
overloaded windows box. Even though the customer might end up
running with 64GB, the sales demo's more likely to be 64MB.
Although I get your point, that is a job for sqllite not postgresql.
PostgreSQL is not a end all be all solution and it is definitely not
designed to be "embedded" which is essentially what you are suggesting
with that kind of configuration.
