I'm not convinced that this is the best approach. Apparently, PostgreSQL is
about the only project that is somehow bothered by this. It would be more
productive to find out why we can't use the system install and find fixes for
that.

Anyway, if you want to speed up your installation today, just override the
INSTALL variable by hand.
