We've been there, and it all that information became outdated pretty soon.
In fact we've just removed all not-included-here documentation in this
release. There are literally thousands of packages interfacing with
PostgreSQL, and I don't see how we're going to manage to put these into
the documentation. People that are looking for software can go to
freshmeat or the PG web site (a.k.a. elephantmeat) or other such places.
