Ok, I think there has been clear support for putting it into contrib, I can comfortably live with that even though I would prefer otherwise.

Optimized and stripped - which is what most distros do - it's 40k here. Gzipped - as in packages - its only 20k on its own. So its even smaller ;) Greetings, Andres Freund -- Andres Freund http://www.2ndQuadrant.com/ PostgreSQL Development, 24x7 Support, Training & Services -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
