The patch did not apply to my copy, since it seems you did not have the
latest version. Anyway, I applied only some parts of the patch:

* changing buildrequires for uuid support.
* removal of /var/log/pgsql
* removing provides for libpq.so

I did not apply:

* I am not in favor of removing uuid conditional. Some people may be
using it.

* I did not apply the _isa related part. Packages like OpenOffice.org
requires "postgresql-libs" for example, and that is all. If we provide
the full version, we may break them (at least this is what I noticed a
year or two ago)

All changes are in [720] .

Well, I think I am used to it. :-)

FWIW, I have committed perl MODULE_COMPAT changes last week or so.

I'm at London this week, that is why some of your email are still
pending for review.

I'll look at it later.

Thanks for the patch!
