This is a minor version upgrade, so data can remain in place. For a 7.2 -> 7.3 upgrade you would have to dump-and-restore.
My upgrade procedure is:
tar xvfz postgresql-7.3.4.tar.gz ; cd postgresql-7.3.4
./configure ; make ; make install
pg_ctl stop ; pg_ctl start

Try something like this
==============================================
pgdumpall > dbbackup -- backup and stop
pg_ctl stop
mv %PGHOME% /usr/local/pgsql.old -- move old pgsql program
cd /usr/local/src/postgresql-7.3.2 -- installs new pgsql version make install
initdb -D %PGHOME%/data -- start and restore db.
pg_ctl start
psql < dbackup
--
