I have some smaller bugfixes in my current version that you probably
don't have yet (on grounds of being fixed this weekend)... So we need to
be a bit careful not too loose those.

I tried that, the problem is not the building itself but getting it
installed into the temporary installation...
But anyway, testing decoding requires a different wal_level so I was

Should we just up that? Its probably problematic for tests arround some
WAL optimizations an such?
