pgAdmin. I do PodtgreSQL binaries as well, but as they're for Windows I
don't suppose they're relevant in this case :-)

Oh right - I thought that was hardcoded for each architecture. Didn't
realise there was a configure time test.

No - which thinking about it is not actually an issue for me as I only
actually need libpq. As that's capable of being built on it's own (and isn't
build form multiple subsystems from what I can remember) I can probably just
get away with that.
