You can specify the full path in the command to pg_config in your Makefile.
It'd be neat if the makefile could fint that out and use it for further
references to pg_config. I haven't had time to look into if this is at all
possible, though.

This is the easy error btw - you can get some fairly funky results if you
have 8.3devel locally and then say 8.0 with different compile options in
your PATH. Then it'll use your 8.3devel pg_config for the first step and
then fall back on the one in the PATH for later steps..
