I have created the attached patch which removes many of the pre-8.0
references, and trims some of the 8.1-8.3 references. There are
probably some of these that should be kept, but it is easier to show you
all the possibilities and we can trim down the removal list based on
feedback.

That reminds me. There are probably a lot of places in the docs that refer to versions of PostgreSQL a good bit older than 8.3. Will grep and patch as I get the time.
