Made great progress on getting everything to work.
I'm down to one detail....

It runs, it starts with the notebook on boot.
But there is no logging...

When I do the install script in contrib it says I have no rights to the
directory. It was in /usr/local/pgsql/data/log and I changed it to
/usr/local/pgsql/log. It was set as root.wheel with 755 permissions so
I suspect it's mad at me because the postgres user was left in the cold.

Now - I have what I hope is the last question related to Mac OSX and not
so much the Postgresql. How do you start/stop services without
rebooting the machine? I tried launchctl but it's not listed.
