Actually, I'm afraid that the content of the zip file is not
self-standing .. but I'm not sure.
For example, there is the full 'org/postgresql/..' file hierarchy, which
does not match what is in git. And also the pom.xml files are missing.
Is that expected? What is the expected way to build from the [1] release
zip file?
