Peter has pointed out that the problem of circular dependencies is a
showstopper for integrating plPHP. The build order has to be
Postgres
PHP (since its existing DB support requires Postgres to build)
plPHP
so putting #1 and #3 into the same package is a no go. Which is too
bad, but I see no good way around it.
