OK.  I don't know if Peter equals consensus...

But, if I don't hear from anyone by the time that I build
and package 7.1RC3 (when available), then I will configure with
--prefix=/usr/postgresql.

BTW, my pre-built Cygwin PostgreSQL tarball has the following directory
structure under the configure prefix:

    bin
    doc
    doc/html
    include
    include/lib
    include/libpq
    include/libpq++
    lib
    man
    man/cat1 # added by me to speed up man
    man/catl # added by me to speed up man
    man/man1
    man/manl
    share

I hope that it is OK -- that is I don't see any "include/postgresql" or
"share/postgresql" as indicated above.

Thanks,
Jason
