I don't wan't to be bundled, I just want it to be known that there are
alternatives available.

Postgresql is free, so what is the big deal about letting users know
about alternative admin tools comercial or open source? It's not like
it would put pgAdmin or Postgresql out of business(it could only help).

It's a shame you don't see how the bundling of pgAdmin(in the current
way) is hurting the 3rd party community.

All that would be needed is a installer section at the end saying
something like:
In addition to pgAdmin III there are other opensource and commercial
admin products available, you can get more information here <link back
to postgresql home page>.

I don't see that as being detrimental to anyone and would certainly be
in fair play.
