Several classes from my App::Info module. They handle searching for the PostgreSQL inc and lib directories (by finding pg_config and asking it), and prompting the user when they can't find them. You've already committed my patch to Makefile.PL that uses them, but since most folks won't have App::Info installed already, it's a simple matter to include the necessary files in the DBD::Pg distribution. You can read more about App::Info here:I'm ready to commit this change. It increases the uncompressed size of the distribution from 288K to 400K. Any objections?What are you adding?

The modules I've added to the DBD::Pg source tree will all be in the inc/ directory in the distribution, will not be used again once DBD::Pg has been installed, and include:
App::Info
App::Info::RDBMS
App::Info::RDBMS::PostgreSQL
App::Info::Util
App::Info::Handler
App::Info::Handler::Prompt
App::Info::Request
Yes, we could simply create a script to do it, but I created App::Info to serve as a generalized framework for ensuring that the proper software and libraries are installed on a system. If people would rather make App::Info a prerequisite for installing DBD::Pg, we could do that, but it seems rather more onerous to me.
