I've found that doing conf/make/make install on a dev system, and then
copying the resulting /usr/local/pgsql tree to production systems,
works fine. Not quite as clean as RPM, but quite usable--I was doing
this with 7.1pre before 7.1 came out. Of course, your library
versions and all that have to match reasonably closely...
