So what configure options would I want to add? Assume I know a lot 
about mac programming and not a lot about futzing with configure.

Also, from this you imply that the source includes the requisite 
launchd magic to get PostgreSQU to load on demand? (You ma assume I 
know a lot about launchd)

Is there a set of build instructions you use? Where do you install?

You mentioned a few GUI tools for inspecting/managing database. What 
do you use/recommend? (A few URLs?)
